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.

Story Dry red wine, from 100% Sangiovese grapes, from our vineyards in Montalcino. Brunello is the 'flagship' of the Fattoria dei Barbi, produced since 1892 and has won accolades and awards worldwide for over a century.
Origin Montalcino (Siena).
Wine making The destemmed grapes underwent a sudden drop in temperature to 16°C in a CO2-protected environment. This cooling process of the grape skin allows for a higher extraction of the anthocyanin and polyphenol content. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in steel tanks for 16 7 days at a controlled temperature of 27-28°C without exceeding 28°C. After racking, malolactic fermentation takes place.
Aging For at least 2 years in small, medium and large capacity barrels, bottle-ageing for at least 4 months.
Total acidity 5.22 gr/L
Residual sugar 1.32 gr/L
Dry extract 29.52 gr/L
Allergens Contains sulphites
