The vineyards stretch at \u003cstrong\u003e350 metres above sea level\u003c\/strong\u003e, enjoying a favourable exposure between south and south-west.

The subsequent alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, concluding with malolactic fermentation. Ageing continues for at least two years in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e of various sizes, initially using small and medium-sized casks before moving on to large barrels. A final rest of at least four months ensures structural integration, defining the wine’s \u003cstrong\u003eenveloping profile\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe prestigious Brunello from the \u003cstrong\u003eFattoria dei Barbi\u003c\/strong\u003e boasts a fascinating heritage, linked to the Colombini family and their estates in Montalcino since 1352.
