BARBI BRUSCO SANGIOVESE IGT 750 ml

Description

Discover the legacy of Fattoria dei Barbi, a Montalcino cornerstone since 1790, where the Colombini family has nurtured vines across centuries. Tracing roots to 1352 in this Tuscan gem, they've mastered the art of winemaking, leading with Brunello di Montalcino from 1892 onward. This enduring estate now brings you the 2019 Brusco dei Barbi Toscana IGT, a Sangiovese-driven red that captures Tuscany's vibrant spirit.

Crafted from grapes predominantly Sangiovese, with touches of other red varietals, this wine hails from the property's Montalcino vineyards at 400 meters elevation. Planted in marl and clay soils, these 15-year-old vines yield a pour of brilliant ruby red, alive with energy that draws you in from the first glimpse.

Lift a glass to reveal clean scents of raspberry and wild strawberries, laced with delicate floral whispers. On the tongue, it unfolds supple and fresh, easy to savor with its light body and lingering fruity close. Ideal for everyday indulgence or as a gateway to Tuscan reds, it balances accessibility with quiet depth.

Versatility defines its appeal at the table—think tender white meats, savory cured pork, bold spicy sauces, creamy fresh cheeses, or classic pizzas fresh from the oven. Each bite amplifies the wine's lively character, turning meals into memorable occasions.

The 2019 growing season in Tuscany delivered wines that stand out for their appeal, and Fattoria dei Barbi's stewardship ensures this one shines now while promising graceful evolution over the next 3–4 years. Critics agree: Decanter awarded 90 points, praising its light cherry fruits, plum hints, soft juicy feel, and grippy tannins for structure.

At 13% ABV in a 750 ml bottle, this dry Sangiovese expression from Italy's Tuscany region offers genuine value for enthusiasts seeking authentic Montalcino character without pretense. Whether stocking your cellar or grabbing for tonight, Brusco dei Barbi delivers the hillside essence in every sip.
