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.

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
