The Colombini Family since last century has produced Chianti, one of the most celebrated Italian red wine. It may come as a surprise: Montalcino is also Chianti. It is the Chianti wine that appears in our first historical documents about exports: 120 flasks of Chianti Montalcino that were shipped to Marseilles in 1817. The Chianti of Fattoria dei Barbi still follows the rules and rigid parameters of all our wines; it is an austere and elegant red in the style of Montalcino wines. A classic although young, rich in body and structure, suitable for those who really want to drink a traditional Tuscan wine.
