Note di degustazione
Medium red with some bricking at the rim. Light, attractive, if quite simple floral and red fruit aromas. Rather tart and dusty on the palate. Not a lot of life, savour or length here. (AH)

A deep, powerful wine, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino possesses notable depth and intensity. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, tobacco, new leather and incense meld together in a muscular, resonant wine built on structure. This is a 2010 that is going to need time to fully come together, but it is impressive just the same.
Fattoria dei Barbi's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino starts with a tightly wound personality that begins to unravel slowly, one delicate layer at a time. As it does, you become aware of dried fruit, cigar box, crushed mineral, plum, tar and cola. The wine puts on a beautiful display. I also loved the mouthfeel of this beautiful wine: It is tonic, tight and brimming with energy. Well-integrated oak notes give the wine a spot of softness and velvety spice. This is one beautiful Sangiovese.
Maturing mid ruby with narrow bricky rim. Iron and dark fruit on the nose with a hint of Moroccan leather. Fragrant and supple on the palate and with firm grainy tannins on the finish. A true classic. (WS)
