Fattoria dei Barbi Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG, wooden box
1 x 150 cl, 2010Product details
Tasting Notes
Fattoria dei Barbi has about 300 hectares of vineyards in Montalcino and Scansano and is run by Stefano Cinelli Colombini. The Colombini family has been settled in this area since the mid-14th century. Brunello di Montalcino is the flagship red wine of this traditional winery. It has been produced for over a century: in the cellar of this renowned estate, one can view a collection of thousands of Brunello bottles, starting from the vintage of 1892! It presents aromas of juicy cherries and dark chocolate, hints of leather, spices, truffles, and violets, along with ethereal and mineral nuances. Its balance, finesse, and length make it irresistible to any lover of well-aged, robust red wines. It particularly highlights the perfect balance between fruit, tannin, and acidity.
Vinification
The temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks lasts an average of two weeks, during which the grapes transfer their full extract into the future wine. It then ages for at least two years in oak barrels and an additional four months in the bottle. Thus, the characterful, highly refined varietal Brunello is market-ready, yet it also has the potential for many more years of aging.
Culinary Recommendation
Grilled meats, veal, cheese platter, mild cheese, beef, braised dishes, pork, game meat.
