Winemaker's Notes :
Deep ruby red color with garnet notes on the rim. Complex aromas of cherry, blackcurrant, plum, almond and vanilla with hints of balsamic. The aromas repeat on the palate which is smooth and balanced with added spice and a long, persistent finish. This wine is generally ready to drink soon after release and has an excellent capacity to age.

Sweet berry and spice aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this well-structured red, finishing with savory and underbrush notes. Powerful and will require time to absorb the dusty tannins. Shows fine length, ending with tobacco and leafy elements. Best from 2019 through 2035

Juicy dark cherries, tobacco, licorice, new leather and spices all flesh out in the glass. A rich, seductive wine, the 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna del Fiore shows plenty of vintage character supported by considerable underlying structure. Barbi shines with the single-vineyard Vigna del Fiore. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2028.
