Fattoria dei Barbi has created a lovely Riserva. The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva exhibits power and grace. The quality of the fruit is evident and the bouquet opens to dark cherry, pressed rose, cola, balsam herb and spicy tobacco. Those aromas faithfully underline the best qualities to be found in aged Sangiovese. At the back, the wine shows firm, but finely textured tannins and a bright vein of crisp acidity.

Cherry and strawberry flavors are augmented by wild herb, earth and tar elements in this focused red, which is firm and balanced in a gruff way, with fine length. Best from 2018 through 2030. 1,000 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
