The Vigna del Fiore is an unique vineyard: its 14 acres (5.7 hectares) are situated in an area where the vine is cultivated by our family since the XVI century. It is one of the southernmost and oldest vineyard in the whole area of the Brunello di Montalcino. The particular exposition and the composition of the soil give to this Brunello special qualities, with a very elegant bouquet and an harmonic and complex taste.
The Brunello Vigna del Fiore has been produced since 1981; for its harmony and charm it can be drunk and appreciated from the earlier years in bottle, despite being a wine with an excellent capacity of ageing. <\/em><\/h3>\r\nGrapes<\/strong> Sangiovese 100%.Vineyards <\/strong>Property of Fattoria dei Barbi, located in the district of Montalcino and registered for Brunello di Montalcino production.

The beginning of the Winter was dry and mild, until the end of January when the weather changed drastically with snow storms and temperatures below zero. In the Spring the climate was dry with warmth above the average, without the regular rains of the period. The Summer was hot for many weeks, keeping the humidity high, until September, when few rainy spells brought back the weather to a more sympathetic level for a balanced maturation of the grapes.
The harvest started on September 18th and finished on October 3th.<\/em><\/p>\r\nVinification<\/strong> Before the fermentation the grapes were subjected to a cold pre-fermentative maceration which consists in cooling the grapes at a temperature of 16\u00b0C in an environment protected by CO2. This process increases the extraction of polyphenols and aroma compounds. The regular alcoholic fermentation followed and lasted 16\/17 days at a controlled temperature of 27\u00b0-28\u00b0C. After the racking and the malolactic fermentation the wine aged in small-medium size oak barrels (2,25 \u2013 15 hl) for the first months. Later it completed the aging in larger oak barrels, for a total period of two years and then is bottled at least 4 months before the release.<\/p>\r\nChemical Analysis<\/strong> Alcohol<\/em> 14,5 % \u2013 Tot.

Barbi: ampiezza e tocchi femminili graziosi, cipria, mughetto, viola e lavanda, poi in bocca il frutto \u00e8 convincente, con centro bocca preciso e finale in crescendo. 93<\/p>\r\n

91 punti – Vinous | Ian D’Agata<\/h4>\r\n
Brunello di Bright red. Sour red cherry, violet and licorice on the subtle, complex nose. Suave and fine-grained, with pure red berry flavors communicating a restrained sweetness and an underlying mineral bent. Finishes perfumed and long, with smooth, tannins and lovely lift and length. A classy Brunello of sneaky concentration and outstanding balance. Well done in such a difficult year, Drinking window: 2020-2029<\/p>\r\n

Antonio Di Spirito | Luciano Pignataro<\/h4>\r\n
E\u2019 pigro e ritroso a manifestarsi, almeno al naso; in bocca, per\u00f2, ritrovi tutti gli elementi del grande vino complesso, profondo ed equilibrato; \u00e8 fresco, concentrato ed intenso; interminabile la sua persistenza.<\/p>\r\n

92+ punti – Monica Larner | Robert Parker – Wine Advocate<\/h4>\r\n
Fattoria dei Barbi\u2019s 2014 Brunello di Montalcino marks an impressive effort in what was undoubtedly a difficult vintage. The experienced winemaking team at this historic estate has evidently made specific choices to uphold the quality of their Brunelllo despite the challenges of this wet and cold growing season. For example, careful green harvesting proved essential for even ripening of the clusters. The fruit here does appear evenly mature and there is enough succulent flavor intensity (with dark fruit, tobacco and cured spice) and texture to count on a healthy aging trajectory as we move forward in time. However, this vintage is fundamentally near and medium term, so I would recommend a 10- or 15-year drinking window. It also tastes great straight out of the gate.<\/p>\r\n
