The Fattoria dei Barbi 2015 Brunello di Montalcino is an extremely polished and precise expression that hits all the right buttons for those seeking a classic expression of Sangiovese. In appearance, the wine shows a bright ruby hue with brilliant garnet reflections. The bouquet is tempered and shy at first, but it opens quickly to reveal those characteristic aromas of wild berry, candied cherry, licorice, and pressed blue flowers that are so beautifully tied to this mighty Tuscan grape.
