Product Description
JD96 "The 2015 Brunello Riserva is more assertive than the 2016 in its aromatics of licorice, dried black cherry, oregano, and sunbaked earth. Dried strawberry, sweet herbs, and tomato leaf have purity and concentration as well as a long finish. The tannins have a slightly more rounded feel in this warm vintage, though the wine maintains a classic sensibility." AF for JD Mar 2021
RP95 "The Fattoria dei Barbi 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva opens to a medium dark color with lots of ruby and garnet brilliance. The fruit is selected from a 27-hectare parcel with youngish vines (20 years old, on average) in schistous galestro soils. Elevations of 400 meters above sea level ensure that the grapes are ventilated even during the hottest months of summer but also protected from cold winds in winter. This was a warm and sunny vintage, but the fruit shows spot-on ripeness with bold cherry and plum, backed by hints of lively acidity. The mouthfeel is fine and smooth with delicate mineral accents. Production is 6,400 bottles." ML for TWA Nov 2020
"There is a little something special that pulls at my heartstrings each year when I taste the wines of Fattoria dei Barbi. It's connected to the realization that I am tasting a creation made by one of the region's oldest estates and the respect I feel for the family that has carried forth this proud agricultural tradition with such care. This estate is located at the heart of the appellation on the "collina" (or hill) where Brunello was born." Published: Nov 30, 2020
