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.

  • Oenologist: Maurizio Castelli
  • Bottles produced: 600.000
  • Hectares: 66
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.

Wine making Depending on the seasonal trend of the harvest year, the destemmed grapes may be treated with cryomaceration, a process whereby the berries are cooled to obtain a higher extraction of the anthocyanin and polyphenol content. Normal alcoholic fermentation lasts about 16 9 days at a controlled temperature of 27-28°C. After racking, malolactic fermentation follows.
