This red wine was born from the same grape as that of Brunello, the Sangiovese cultivated in Montalcino, and it comes from those young vineyards that give off those aromatic and elegant wines but it is not so tannic and full-bodied.
 
It is the ideal every day companion for family meals. Goes especially well with roasted and grilled meat (both beef and white meat), cheeses and casserole dishes.
 
Vinification:
Before the regular fermentation the grapes were subjected to a cold pre-fermentative maceration which consists in cooling the grapes at a temperature of 16° C. This process increases colour stability and improves extraction of polyphenols and aroma compounds. The alcoholic fermentation lasted 12/13 days at a controlled temperature of 29° – 30° C. This wine had about 6 months of refinement in small/medium oak barrels and stainless steel vats.

Scores & Tasting notes:
“Brilliant ruby red. Bouquet: clean and fresh with prevalence of red berries, redcurrant and cherry. Light scents of eucalyptus. Taste: warm and pleasant with smooth tannins. Savoury. Mineral, a touch of menthol in the finish.”

"Fattoria dei Barbi's 2017 Rosso di Montalcino is a gorgeous wine, and also one of the very few 2017s in which the ripeness of the vintage is not especially felt. Translucent and medium in body, with tons of Sangiovese character, Barbi's 2017 is flat-out delicious. Sweet red cherry, tobacco, cedar, wild flowers, spice and mint all add shades of nuance."  90/100 Antonio Galloni/Vinous
