Wine Advocate
Reviewed December 2023The Fattoria dei Barbi 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna del Fiore is a darker and more concentrated expression with plum, cooked cherry, balsam herb, cola, pressed blue flower and toasted spice. Compared to the village bottling, this wine takes the intensity up a notch and offers lots of textured richness. There is a clear chalkiness to the tannins. The score gap between this bottle and the classic Brunello does not meet the price point difference (which is almost double for the Vigna del Fiore). However, with only 4,000 bottles made, this wine will prove more challenging to locate. (ML)

Vinous
Dusty rose and cedar shavings give way to dried strawberries and clove as the delicate 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna del Fiore unfolds in the glass. This is a model of purity, with a silken textural wave that washes across the palate, ushering in polished red fruits and inner florals that resonate throughout. The 2019 finishes dramatically long and potent, with edgy tannins that add youthful poise as a bump of residual acidity maintains freshness. Nearly a minute goes by, and notes of inner rose and tart cranberry linger. This is a stunning interpretation of Vigna del Fiore. (EG)
