Barbi 2001 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $50
Initial sulfur notes blow off quickly, leaving attractive aromas of tobacco, ripe cherry, nutmeg, vanilla, anise and a hint of fresh dill. Medium structure with firm tannins and a long, tea-like finish. Imported by Wine Wave.

Barbi 2000 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $50
Earthy on the nose, with hints of coffee. Tastes a bit sweet and candied, with cherry, plum and berry flavors—your standard three-pack. Not terribly deep, but tasty. Finishes smooth, if a bit simple. Imported by Wine Wave.

Barbi 2000 Riserva Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $100
A normally strong contender, this reserve wine left us unconvinced. There were blue flowers and stone fruit-peachy notes but also band-aid, barnyard, orange peel and astringent tannins for an unsynchronized whole and an oily exterior. Imported by Wine Wave.

Barbi 2009 Il Ruspo Sangiovese (Umbria)
A distant touch of volatility opens the wine, giving it a bright aromatic lift or buoyancy. Although those apple skin aromas could worsen with time, the wine tastes pretty good now thanks to the fresh acidity and its lively, almost nervous personality. Drink immediately.

Barbi 2011 Abboccato White (Orvieto Classico)
- Online Exclusive
“Abboccato” Orvieto Classico means the wine has just enough residual sugar to make it taste playfully sweet in the mouth. This expression delivers that soft sweetness with one-dimensional flavors of melon and stone fruit. Try it as an aperitivo wine.
