Fattoria dei Barbi

Broad and savory, with licorice, leather and tobacco flavors. Mulled cherry notes lurk in the background, while beefy tannins come to the fore on the lingering finish.

92 PTS WINE ENTHUSIAST. The '06 Fattoria dei Barbi Brunello di Montalcino is very rich and decadent with black cherry, plum, prune and tobacco aromas; great tannic structure and smooth consistency.

The Brusco dei Barbi is an easy-going red from Tuscany; drinks very well; long, smooth finish.

88 PTS WILFRED WONG. A fine, crisp, easy-drinking white, the '09 Barbi Orvieto Classico shows tart fruit flavors, framed with pleasing, sweet earthy notes.
