BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO RISERVA D.O.C.G.
2020, Tuscany, Tuscany, Italy
Profile & Story
The Colombini family has owned land in Montalcino since 1352, and the Fattoria dei Barbi since the end of the 18th century. The property extends over 350 hectares of fields and vineyards in southern Tuscany, in Montalcino, Scansano and in Chianti. We have been producing Brunello since 1892 and were the first to export it to Europe, America and Asia. Since the 19th century, our wines have won prizes all over the world, and our blue label has always been the best known Brunello. The Fattoria dei Barbi today is owned by Stefano Cinelli Colombini, who continues a story that sees the Colombinis linked to these lands for more than six centuries; a very long time in which the family has always defended the traditions and values of the Montalcinese culture, whose last and most precious fruit is Brunello.
Tasting Notes
Colour: intense and brilliant ruby red. Bouquet: a Riserva that stands as the emblem of classic style, fully expressing the nobility and austerity of Sangiovese. Intriguing and multifaceted, it opens with marasca cherry in spirit, gracefully interwoven with spicy nuances and ethereal notes. Taste: on the palate, it reveals great structure and a dense, deeply woven tannic texture. A vibrant, taut acidity sharpens the profile and leads to a savory, firm, and persistent finish
Pairing Recommendation
Wine for important occasions, matches roast or braised meat, game and mature cheeses.
