FATTORIA dei BARBI owned by Cinelli Colombini in Montalcino since 1352

More than 2 centuries in wine making, hospitality, fine dining, culture and much more, by a family that has been living in Montalcino for approximately 670 years. Fattoria dei Barbi was established in 1790 and the estate extends over 325 hectares of fields and vineyards in southern Tuscany, Montalcino, Scansano (the estate is Aquilaia dei Barbi), and the Chianti region. Since 1892, Fattoria dei Barbi has produced Brunello wine and it was the first winery to export in Europe, America, and Asia. Since the 1800s, Barbi wines have won prizes all over the world. Today, Fattoria dei Barbi is managed by Stefano Cinelli Colombini, who is carrying on the family legacy, which has seen the Colombini family linked to this land for centuries and whose last and most precious fruit is Brunello.

Fattoria dei Barbi – just a few kilometres from the beautiful Sant’Antimo Abbey – was the first winery accessible to the public in 1949, paving the way to what we name wine-tourism. Today, it is not only a cellar with vineyards, but it is a little world where visitors can enjoy a cultural experience beyond food and wine. Here hospitality means an historical Winery, Taverna dei Barbi, Caseificio dei Barbi and Brunello Museum dedicated to history of Montalcino and to people that made up the foundation of the success of the most prestigious Italian wine.
