A vault guards the memory of this winery with a collection of wines from 1870 and Brunello from the first vintage.
The current owner's grandfather opened Italy's first wine shop in Montalcino in 1934. As a pioneer of wine tourism, he won the record for having opened the cellar to visitors in 1949, a far-sighted idea that has today led to the current gastronomic offer of the Taverna dei Barbi, where one can taste typical Tuscan dishes, elaborated from family recipes.
Fattoria dei Barbi also offers its valuable contribution to the cultural sphere, founding in 2006 the Local Museum of Montalcino and Brunello, and a publishing house. Read more
