Viniou Reviews
The 2003 Fattoria dei Barbi Brunello di Montalcino is a notable Italian red wine hailing from the renowned wine-growing region of Tuscany. This wine is crafted from 100% Sangiovese grapes, typical for Brunello di Montalcino, a designation known for producing robust and age-worthy wines. The 2003 vintage presented warm conditions, resulting in ripe, concentrated fruit profiles. The terroir of Brunello di Montalcino benefits from its hilly landscape, with soils composed of marl, limestone, and clay, which contribute to the wine's complexity and balanced acidity. The vinification process typically involves lengthy aging in oak barrels, lending the wine its characteristic depth and finesse.
Tuscany, positioned in central Italy, is celebrated for its rolling hills and diverse microclimates. The region’s climate is predominantly Mediterranean, with dry, sunny summers and wet springs, conducive to the high-quality grape growing that Tuscany is famous for. Historically, Tuscany's wine production dates back to the Etruscans, and over time, the region has evolved to become one of Italy’s most prestigious wine areas, with Brunello di Montalcino being a crown jewel in its offerings.
For an ideal gastronomic experience, pair this Brunello di Montalcino with hearty dishes that complement its full body and tannic structure. Traditional Tuscan dishes such as wild boar ragù or a rich beef stew, known as "peposo," would harmonise beautifully with the wine. Other suitable pairings include aged cheeses like Pecorino Toscano, which balance the wine's intensity with their robust flavours.
When it comes to serving, this Brunello di Montalcino should be decanted for at least an hour to allow its aromas and flavours to fully develop. It is best enjoyed at a temperature of 18-20°C, which will enhance its complexity and showcase the wine’s vintage characteristics.
