History
The Colombini family has held land in Montalcino since 1352 and Fattoria dei Barbi since around 1790. Formal Brunello production began in 1892, under Pio Colombini — who married Elina Padelletti, of another ancient Montalcino family — and the estate was among the first to export Brunello to Europe, America and Asia.
Now in its twentieth generation of family ownership, Fattoria dei Barbi makes 156,000 to 200,000 bottles a year.
Its portfolio ranges from the classic Brunello and Riserva to the single-vineyard Vigna del Fiore, led today by Stefano Cinelli Colombini.
