Fattoria dei Barbi (Colombini) Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2010

Peter van den Besselaar

Vintage 2010 / smell seems rather old... rondeur, high acidity, earthy taste

Sipping Fine Wine

Takes its name from the free-spirited gentleman named Bruscone who lived in the woods of the Barbi Estate. Brilliant Ruby with aromas of wild berry fruits and sweet herb notes. On the palate cherry, plum and dried fruits with tobacco and cola notes, well balanced on firm tannins tightly wound, oak notes; decant. Lingering finish ending with mineral and earthy notes. Let this age a few more years.

Matt Lasater

Ripe and over worked. To me lacked the soul and character that makes Brunello so great, little varietal character or sense of place

Nice example. Big acid and tons of red plum fruit. Elegant and nice. Drank too early!

Tom Kobylarz

Closed for business, elegant and restrained, reticent even this is like Burgundy meets Brunello. Still great, the potential is there for even more greatness.

Gregory Fulchiero

Best on days 2&3

Michael Heintz

Deceptively elegant for its age, round and graceful, with some heft at the same time, smooth as silk on the finish...lovely

Day 1 pnp. Closed nose some chocolate. Even after an hour still closed. Drinking smooth but not that special. Let s see what tomorrow brings. 88. Day 2 used this oxy system stop. Did not improve imho. It’s color is more developed but I am even wondering if it is over the hill....... 82 Total 85

Recommend pairing with our cow tongue and truffles. Bright, acidic body with candied red berries. Likened to Banfi's Brunellos. Serralunga is gorgeous.
