The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino is a steady and pleasing effort that shows dark fruit layers packed tight with spice and tobacco. Like many of the wines this vintage, Fattoria dei Barbi's newest release is immediate and approachable. You can drink it now or wait a few years longer. It tastes just great now with soft fruit layers and generous servings of black cherry and plum. It shows a dense texture with sweet tannins on the close.

Graphite, menthol and wild herb aromas introduce this cherry-flavored red. Hints of leather and tobacco round this out, presenting dusty tannins on the chewy finish. Best from 2018 through 2025. 33,300 cases made, 4,000 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
