The guide (who we presume to be the owners son) couldn't have been nicer. He invited us to join the English speaking tour he was in the middle of.

A bottle is coming home with us. The vino noble was good as well- just a little heavy for my particular taste. The wine cellars were amazing. The wine is reasonably priced. The people so nice and welcoming. I would definitely recommend coming here if on a Tuscany trip!

The wines are encased in upscale lit cases which displays it in a very high end way. We had an opportunity to try one of their 100 point Brunellos for free and I was not impressed. Most of their wines are over 90 point and extremely pricey and after tasting 3 additional wines, we left. We didn't bother to do the wine tour since we didn't enjoy the tasting. It was worth a visit because this was by far the most lavish tasting room we encountered in our 3 days in Tuscany.

The ambiance was quaint and charming and the open fire was warming and comforting.

We returned on my birthday for dinner and arrived an hour early. No problem, the waiter was overjoyed to see us and we asked to sit outside on a gorgeous evening with a light breeze. The weather set the tone and we ordered a glass of Barbi's vermentino which was served within 30 seconds. (There was only one other table of diners, who, as it turned out had ordered about 6 cases of Barbi's wines and decided to celebrate their acquisition by eating dinner too!) We asked when their wine shop was closing and were told ten minutes. We promptly rose, took our glasses with us and visited the shop where we purchased a few bottles to take home. While this is primarily a review about the restaurant it bears mentioning that Barbi's Brunellos are made in the traditional style with lots of terroir. Not fruit forward and highly alcoholic like the modern style. We love their wines and on this night after we sat down again we ordered a 1999 Brunello to enjoy with dinner. It was stunning and drinking perfectly. We were given an amuse bouche to start the evening, a wonderful gazpacho like creation, served cold. I started with a special, a tagliatelle pasta with fresh porcini mushrooms. I cannot remember when I had last had fresh porcinis, they always seem to be dried. The dish was so incredible, so perfectly balanced and flavorful that I literally had tears in my eyes. No lie. And I went perfectly with the Brunello. And now a sidebar for all the wine fanatics out there. The wine service was the most complicated, most detailed I have ever seen. Sure, you've seen wine decanted. Over a candle, yes. But before that, the waiter removed the top of the capsule. Then he made another cut a little ways down and almost all around the bottle but just enough left to pull up the capsule to form a ring into which he put the cork after he opened the wine. Yes the cork was like a finger and the capsule was like its ring. Crazy. Of course we were fascinated and even though I was thirsty, i could wait for this. He decanted. He used napkins. He wiped. He said it would be ready in ten minutes. Arrrrggh, i want it now! He came back, poured it, and wow it was worth the wait! Anyways the main courses were wonderful. Veal cheek and pork loin wrapped in bacon with more porcinis. Veal cheek was fork tender and full of flavor. The pork was too. Plates were cleaned! The only misstep was dessert. The custard had broken and resembled scrambled eggs. While it tasted good, it didn't look good. It was spread over baked apples - yum - and there were lovely meringue tepees all around. Stupendous place. I highly recommend it, hopefully you can go in wild boar season which I think is later in the year.

Alessandra (co-owner) and her daughter Veronica led the truffle hunt, with our little hunter, Celly--who brought plenty of puppy energy and was much more interested in playing than working.

What a beautiful place with it's 360 degree panoramic views along with it's wonderfully appointed grounds.

The local chefs they brought in to teach us were equally as wonderful and truly passionate about what they do. We had their Losna chardonnay which was very nice especially for this region which is not known for chards and the Curtun red was stellar. I personally loved the Curtun and found it much more pleasurable then most of the chiantis I've tried in the area. Can't wait to come back and hopefully bring more of the family to share.
