"The big, tannic, backward 1988 Brunello di Montalcino exhibits a medium to dark ruby color, and a moderately intense bouquet of cedar, herbs, and jammy fruit. Full-bodied, powerful, tannic, and long, with excellent concentration and structure, this is a Brunello to lay away for 1-3 years and drink over the subsequent 15. Although Barbi fashioned some marvelous Brunellos throughout the sixties and early seventies, it has been a long time since I have tasted a Barbi Brunello as good as the three offerings reviewed in this issue."

"This red wine is produced since 1892 and was awarded many times for its quality. This wine is the “heart” of our production and it is made with 100% Sangiovese grapes from our best vineyards in Montalcino."
