Brunello is a pure Sangiovese from Montalcino, and since the 1500s, it has been one of Italy’s great wines. In the cellar of Fattoria dei Barbi, almost every vintage of Brunello from 1892 to today is preserved, and many of those bottles have won awards in the 1800s, 1900s, and the new century. We represent one of the most classic expressions of the quality of Montalcino wines.
Tasting Notes:
Deep ruby red. On the nose, it reveals pronounced aromas of fruits such as plum and morello cherry, enriched by delicate notes reminiscent of almond, green pepper, and tobacco. On the palate, it is warm and smooth, with tannins well balanced by the acidity. The aftertaste is long, with a pleasantly fruity persistence.
Pairings:
Flavorful dishes like braised red meats or game, grilled or roasted mixed meats. Savory, well-aged hard cheeses.
