Fattoria dei Barbi, Brusco dei Barbi, Toscana, Tuscany, 2019

Fattoria dei Barbi is perhaps best known for its Brunello di Montalcino, but this unoaked blend of Sangiovese with 10% Merlot demonstrates the quality of the winemaking at this historical estate. Light cherry fruits with a hint of plum in the background give a soft and juicy mouthfeel but with some grippy tannins which lend structure. 2019 is a delicious vintage in Tuscany and it's worth snapping this up.
