Fattoria dei BarbiThe Colombini family has owned property
in Brunello di Montalcino since 1352, and they established
Fattoria dei Barbi there in 1790. Today, Barbi's 100 hectares
of vineyards produce over 700,000 bottles of wine annually!
The vineyards are composed of galestro with components of
lime and argillous soil, and they enjoy ideal southeast
exposure. At the bottom of the hill, below the estate's
vineyards, sits the Taverna dei Barbi, a restaurant that
places the winery in a very select group of producers offering
the opportunity to dine on the premises. At the head of
the Barbi estate today is the legendary Donna Francesca
Colombini-Cinelli, although she is now partially retired
and has entrusted the responsibility of the estate to her
son Stefano. This new generation is careful to maintain
family traditions while also incorporating numerous modern
changes. Offering wines ranging from the respected Brunello
Riserva 'Vigna del Fiore' to the Brusco dei Barbi, this
producer is sure to enjoy a long, successful future.
