Fattoria dei Barbi

Barbi Farm


Fattoria dei Barbi is a historic winery in Montalcino that has its roots in the Middle Ages. The Colombini family, owners of the winery, can in fact boast a long noble Sienese tradition and has owned vineyards in Montalcino since 1352. The recovery of these lands, starting from the end of the 18th century, led to the foundation of the winery, which is responsible for important records, such as the promotion and enhancement of Brunello di Montalcino throughout the world starting from the 1960s.

Today, at the helm of Fattoria dei Barbi is Stefani Cinelli Colombini, a great producer who has been able to take on the responsibility of a great legacy and project it into the future. His work consists in reconciling tradition with an openness to modernity through continuous experimentation and a calibrated use of technology. The 75 hectares of vineyards owned, located between 250 and 450 meters above sea level on soils rich in marl, sand and clay, are cultivated favoring a high plant density and limited yields per hectare, in order to guarantee the high quality of the grapes. Since 1997, a 28-hectare property in Maremma has been added to the historic Montalcino estates, Aquilaia dei Barbi, purchased by Stefano before investments in the territory became a trend.
The wines produced by Fattoria dei Barbi are characterized by a typical and territorial style, with a modern aromatic cleanliness and have a quality/price ratio that knows few equals in the splendid territory of Montalcino.
