Description
The Brunello di Montalcino of Fattoria dei Barbi is born in vineyards located between the rolling hills of Montalcino and Scansano, in the heart of Tuscany.
It is produced exclusively with Sangiovese grapes, harvested towards the end of August. After a crushing-destemming, the grapes ferment in barriques at a controlled temperature of 27-28 ° C for about 16-17 days. Subsequently the wine ages in oak barrels for at least 2 years, and for a further 4 months in bottle.
This Brunello is characterized by a bright ruby red colour. The nose opens with elegant hints of cherries and plums, enriched with pleasant nuances of herbs. On the palate it is pleasantly sapid, with silky and round tannins. The wine has a long persistence.
Perfect to accompany red meats and game, it is ideal in combination with roasts and aged cheeses.
