This red wine is produced since 1892 and was awarded many times for its quality. This wine is the \u201cheart\u201d of our production and it is made with 100% Sangiovese grapes from our best vineyards in Montalcino. Fattoria dei Barbi is located in the heart of the \u201chill\u201d of Montalcino. The wine Brunello di Montalcino is born here.We occupy the southern part, with soils that mix a majority of marleswith a minor percentage of clay and eocenic sands. We are protected from the northern winds by the hill of Montalcino and from the hot winds by the Mount Amiata. This situation creates an uniform climate, sunny and dry, which favours the production of long ageing wines.<\/em><\/h3>\r\n

The Year 2018 <\/strong>The beginning of the season was characterized by a mild January and a colder February with northern winds. 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. The harvest took place from September 17th until the 29th.<\/em><\/p>\r\n

Vinification\u00a0<\/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\u00b0 C in an environment protected by CO\u00b2. 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\n

Though vibrant and packed with intense raspberry, cherry, hibiscus and earth flavors, this red is also solidly built, with dense tannins leaving a strong grip on the long, crisp finish. This has plenty to like; just be patient. Best from 2026 through 2045.<\/p>\r\n

Packaged with its dark blue label. the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino displays a very specific character that I always recognize in this wine. The house style is a callout to local winemaking tradition in which there is a slightly wild side to the cherry fruit and forest floor aromas. The oak spice is smoothly integrated into the medium-weight texture, and there is earthy spice and root at the back. The wine closes with freshness, bitter plum and rusty metal. This is a 157,000-bottle release. Drink Date 2025-2038.<\/p>\r\n

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino lifts from the glass with an earth-inspired blend of crushed dried roses, cedar box and balsamic-tinged cherry. This is soft and round on the palate, with liquid violet florals and lavender giving way to ripe wild berries. The 2018 leaves a touch of fine tannins while finishing with admirable length, as a potent staining of black raspberry slowly fades. There’s excellent concentration here and a balanced structure that should promote medium-term cellaring. Drinking Window 2025 – 2033<\/strong>. Tasted: October 2022\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Lustrous ruby with orange tinges. Focused, concentrated fruit on the nose. Impressive balance between suave, almost minty cherry fruit, coating tannins and supple acidity.

The quiet, elegant nose features delicate aromas of cherries, strawberries and figs, along with weightier notes of earth and stone. The fruit elements turn more decadent and syrupy on the palate, but a subtle citrus bitterness bolsters that flinty, earthy undertone to maintain balance.<\/p>\r\n

Despite a fully garnet hue, the nose is vibrant and floral scented with mint and tarragon. Notes of chestnut give this earthy context on the palate – a pleasant contrast to sweet tangy berries. Clean fruit is heightened by mouthwatering acidity, though the tannins are a tad dry. Spreading out over Manta Icino’s southeastern flank, the Barbi estate assembles this from multiple plots of ‘middle-aged’ vines – between 12 to 25 years old. Drinking Window: 2023 – 2029.<\/p>\r\n

Ripe aromas of balsamic and black cherry emerge from the 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino, with purple flowers, tarry earth, and a bit of blue fruit as well. Typical of the 2018s, it has full body, but with a softer texture and more subtle tannin structure. Blackberry, cedar, and fresh soil all come together with gentle richness in this attractive wine, which might be best suited for immediate gratification. Drink 2023-2030.<\/p>\r\n

Barbi\u2019s is a Brunello interpretation of yet another diplomatic and democratic vintage, structured much like 2016 and yet more openly getable like 2015. There seems little connection to 2017 but only because that vintage was such an outlier. In fact the lineage is in tact and as it is well known, a Barbi wine is tethered to history and tradition as almost no Montalcino other. The real, direct, honest, correct and purposed deal. Every time out. Drink 2023-2028. Tasted November 2022.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Deep, dark red-black. No longer opaque, but one of the most deeply colored wines in the tasting. Ample plum fruits here, and these are more primary and less evolved than for many of the wines. Spicy, round, and exuberant, with a generous palate promised. That’s what you get: big, bustling, buxom Brunello, packed with energetic, bear-cub-like fruit, rolling and wrestling its way through your mouth. Super-fun\u2014but it lingers and lasts in the mouth, too, and then you get a sense of what may be on offer with time. Grand generosity here. 91<\/strong>

The nose is simple and straightforward, with some red and black fruit and a touch of spicy oak. On the palate, the fruit reveals a slightly green edge and the tannins are dusty and brittle. This would have been better in a flight of Rosso rather than Brunello. 87<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\r\n

The vineyards and land surrounding Fattoria dei Barbi have been owned by the Cinelli Colombini family since 1352. They have produced Brunello since 1892 and were among the first wineries to export Brunello to Asia and the Americas. Today the winery is under the command of Stefano Cinelli Colombini, who oversees the production of his family\u2019s quality wine. The 2018 is garnet ruby colored with aromas of black raspberry, black plum, and tobacco leaf and has flavors of cherry, cranberry, and Mission fig enveloped in generous, round tannins.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

FATTORIA DEI BARBI, BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO DOCG 2018. Barbi, one of the area’s most historical names, is just southeast of Montalcino town. It has one of the largest areas under vine in the appellation, with an array of soils and altitudes (300-500m asl) and mostly southerly aspects. It wines have a fitting classicism. Here the nose displays that characteristic blend of red cherry with a hint of tar and dried thyme. It becomes markedly tarrier on the attack with a billowing smokiness that doesn’t mask the potency of marasca cherry fruit. The palate feels quite warm, with acidity not quite bringing the freshness needed to cleanse it. The tannins are gravelly and loose, only gaining cohesiveness on the finish. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n

From a winery run with the unmistakable \u2018humanistic\u2019 style of Stefano Cinelli Colombini, the heritage of the typology, a Brunello rich in sapidity. Pomegranate to the nose, with touches of laurel and rhubarb, density and tension to the mouthfeel, brackish-saline tannins and great persistence.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
