Both months were marked by abundant rains and occasionally by snow, which was helpful for the water supply. The Spring was still very rainy with temperatures higher than average. The Summer was dryer and very hot in the second half of August. A few thunderstorms at the beginning of September refreshed the temperature and helped the grapes to reach a good and balanced maturation, even if anticipated. Vinification <\/strong>Before the regular fermentation the grapes were subjected to a cold prefermentative maceration which consists in cooling the grapes at a temperature of 16\u00b0C. This process increases colour stability and improves extraction of polyphenols and aroma compounds. The alcoholic fermentation lasted 12\/13 days at a controlled temperature of 29\u00b0-30\u00b0C. This wine had about 6 months of refinement in small\/medium oak barrels and stainless steel vats.<\/p>\r\n Chemical analysis <\/strong>Alcohol<\/em> 14.1% \u2013 Tot.

Captivating aromas and flavors of raspberry, minerals, marzipan, blood orange, and candied red currant all lifted by an intense note of violet. Truly a fantastic, knockout Sangiovese nose. Then juicy, vibrant and pure, with a very expressive core of perfumed flavors similar to the aromas. Finishes with exceptional clarity and cut, but only with good, not great, persistence. Still, this is a memorable Rosso di Montalcino: the nose alone deserves 96-97 points.

On the palate, silky textures are contrasted by brisk acids and tart wild berry fruit, savory spice, and minerals, in an expression that seems to morph from sweet to savory. The finish is medium in length, as fleshy red fruits are firmed up by a coating of grippy tannins. I find a lot to like about the 2018 Barbi Rosso.

\r\nThis wine has the same characteristics of Brunello but with an easier approach. The grapes of Sangiovese come from the younger vineyards which produce aromatic and elegant wines with a medium body. It is the ideal every day companion for family meals.<\/em><\/h3>\r\n
The harvest took place from September 17th until the 29th.<\/em><\/p>\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.fattoriadeibarbi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Vinous5-300x125.png\")
