DOC(G):
Brunello
di Montalcino
About the Producer:
The Colombini family
has owned property in Brunello
di Montalcino since 1352, and they established Fattoria dei Barbi
there in 1790. Today, Barbi's 100 hectares of vineyards produce over
700,000 bottles of wine annually! The vineyards are composed of galestro
with components of lime and argillous soil, and they enjoy ideal southeast
exposure. At the bottom of the hill, below the estate's vineyards,
sits the Taverna dei Barbi, a restaurant that places the winery in
a very select group of producers offering the opportunity to dine
on the premises. At the head of the Barbi estate today is the legendary
Donna Francesca Colombini-Cinelli, although she is now partially retired
and has entrusted the responsibility of the estate to her son Stefano.
This new generation is careful to maintain family traditions while
also incorporating numerous modern changes. Offering wines ranging
from the respected Brunello Riserva 'Vigna del Fiore' to the Brusco
dei Barbi, this producer is sure to enjoy a long, successful future.
