Brunello Di Montalcino Fattoria dei Barbi 2019

Brunello Di Montalcino Fattoria dei Barbi, Tuscany, Italy, 2019

Grapes: 100% Sangiovese (Brunello) aged in French and Slovenian oak for a period of 2 years. 

Powerfully structured, this is an austere, warm, amply flavoured wine with a deep ruby to brick-red colour and a richly complex, dry, full and soft palate. A muscular, full-bodied wine with great richness. 

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Crisp strawberries, currants and blackberries fill the glass. In the background, yellow flowers and salted almonds, but also rose petals and lemongrass. On the palate, medium-full body, juicy tannins and a well-made finish!"

93/100 points, Raffaele Vecchione, WinesCritic.com, November 2023

"Offering a clean and bright fruit profile, the Fattoria dei Barbi 2019 Brunello di Montalcino shows plum, dark cherry and blackberry. The fruit presented in this vintage is fresh, velvety, nicely contoured and still tastes quite primary in nature. This bodes well for the wine's future bottle evolution. The tannins are slightly chalky but supported by rich texture." Drink 2025-2040

95/100 points, Monica Larner, WINE ADVOCATE, December 2023

Brunello di Montalcino is the King of Tuscan wines. It should accompany strongly flavoured meats and game.
