Fattoria dei Barbi is a 750-acre estate in Montalcino and Scansano. The 250 acres of vineyards produce about 800,000 bottles of wine annually. The estate has been owned by the Colombini family, who have been statesmen, businessmen, politicians and academics over the centuries. Though the estate makes olive oil and other agricultural products, it is best known for its Brunello. Gambero Rosso has noted that “Fattoria dei Barbi is an almost obligatory stop for anyone interested in knowing more about Brunello and its heritage.”
