About The Wine
This wine is aged in small-medium size oak barrels (5-20 hl) initially before completing the ageing process in larger oak barrels, for a total period of three years. Fattoria dei Barbi's Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is bottled at least 6 months before release.
Tasting Note
The Riserva explodes with ripe red fruits such as bitter cherry as well as possessing plenty tertiary complexities, notably leather, dry hay and liquorice. On the palate the wine is warm, ample, elegant and savoury showing a well integrated balance of alcohol and acidity. The juicy powerful finish seems endless.
