The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG "Vigna del Fiore" represents one of the most refined and elegant expressions from Fattoria dei Barbi, a historic winery dedicated to producing high-quality wines in the heart of Tuscany. This wine is the result of a careful selection of Sangiovese grapes, grown in the prestigious single vineyard "Vigna del Fiore," located in one of the most favorable areas of Montalcino.
Intense ruby red with garnet highlights, the Brunello di Montalcino "Vigna del Fiore" exhibits a complex and profound bouquet. Notes of ripe red fruits blend with hints of spices, leather, and tobacco, stemming from aging for at least 24 months in oak barrels, followed by several more months of bottle refinement. These processes give the wine a harmonious and well-balanced structure, characterized by fine tannins and a persistent elegance in the finish.
On the palate, the Brunello di Montalcino "Vigna del Fiore" is full and enveloping, with a perfect balance between acidity and savoriness, leading to a long and pleasant aftertaste. Its complexity and depth make it ideal to accompany rich and structured dishes such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses.
The Brunello di Montalcino "Vigna del Fiore" from Fattoria dei Barbi is a wine that best expresses the excellence of the Montalcino terroir, suitable for immediate tasting or further aging to discover new nuances over the years. A true gem for lovers of Tuscan wines and an authentic expression of Italian winemaking art.
