Vin Santo Fattoria dei Barbi is an excellence of Tuscan oenology, a wine of great charm and tradition, capable of taking us with a sip into a story of centuries. In the glass, it presents an amber yellow color, with luminous reflections. The aromatic profile is complex, with scents of raisins, chestnut honey, dried fruit, candied fruit, hints of aromatic herbs, and noble woods. The sip is rich, dense, unfolds harmoniously and velvety with soft and enveloping notes. The finish is very persistent and closes on notes of balanced freshness, almost balsamic.
The must is placed in small oak barrels, of one or two hectoliters, with the so-called “mother,” that is, the concentrated must from previous vintages. The wine remains to mature in sealed barrels for at least 3 years. At the end of this period, it is separated from the “mother” and aged in smaller barrels, of 0.65 hectoliters for about a year. Only after this long process is it bottled and put on sale after an additional year of refinement.Vin Santo Fattoria dei Barbi is an excellence of Tuscan oenology, a wine of great charm and tradition, capable of taking us with a sip into a story of centuries.
