Description
The Vigna del Fiore is a 5.7-hectare vineyard of stony soil located where vines have been cultivated since 1500. It is the southernmost company's vineyard and one of the oldest. Its exceptional exposure and soil composition give this Brunello elegance, finesse of aroma and complexity on the palate. Produced since 1981, it is a wine with an excellent capacity for ageing. However, it can be enjoyed right from its first few years in the bottle due to its harmony and pleasantness.

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.
