Winter was mild, while warmer temperatures in early April encouraged early budbreak. During the night of 7\u20138 April, a light frost affected the lower-lying vineyards, reducing yields. May and June brought average seasonal temperatures, while good water availability through August promoted recovery from frost stress, ensuring gradual vine growth and excellent fruit health. July recorded no temperatures above 35\u00b0C, while August saw only four days exceeding this threshold, resulting in a moderate summer with cool nights that favoured excellent phenolic maturity. September was dry, with just 16 mm of rainfall recorded on the night of the 16th, providing ideal conditions for healthy fruit. Vinification and Ageing <\/strong>Depending on the characteristics of the vintage, the destemmed and crushed grapes may undergo cryomaceration, a cooling technique that enhances the extraction of anthocyanins and polyphenols from the grape skins.

\r\nVigna del Fiore is the southernmost vineyard of Fattoria dei Barbi and one of the southernmost vineyards within the Brunello di Montalcino appellation. It is a narrow valley of pure Galestro where the grapes ripen perfectly, sheltered from both cold northerly winds and the hot Scirocco. The nearby Ribusuoli stream contributes to the vineyard’s natural water balance. The result is a Brunello of remarkable elegance and rare complexity.<\/em><\/h3>\r\n
