Fattoria dei Barbi Brunello di Montalcino 2019 is a classic and deeply expressive Tuscan red that exemplifies the prestigious Brunello di Montalcino DOCG designation. Crafted from 100% Sangiovese by one of Montalcino’s most historic estates, this vintage reflects the balance of power, structure, and elegance that defines great Brunello.
Brilliant ruby red with garnet reflections, the wine opens with intense aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, and plum layered with notes of citrus peel, dried herbs, spice, and subtle earth. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and beautifully structured, offering vibrant dark fruit flavors supported by firm yet polished tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is long, refined, and persistent, showcasing both depth and finesse.
With excellent aging potential, the 2019 vintage can be enjoyed now with proper decanting or cellared to further develop complexity over the next decade and beyond. It pairs beautifully with roasted and grilled red meats, braised dishes, game, and aged cheeses, making it a standout selection for special occasions or elevated dining.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"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. This is from a widely distributed production of 160,000 bottles that will hit the market in January 2024. Great job here." |

"Blueberry and orange peel with some cedar and nutmeg in the aromas and flavors. Medium to full body with firm and polished tannins and a flavorful finish. Polished and refined, yet structured. Solid wine. Better after three or four years." |
