Barbicaia
Barbicaia produces Sangiovese-based wines from Montepulciano in Toscana, central Italy's storied wine country. The winery's Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, the region's flagship expression, draws from Sangiovese's characteristic structure and earthy depth—a wine that has attracted the attention of Wine Advocate, Falstaff, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Decanter. The Rosso di Montepulciano offers a more immediate expression of the same varietal, lighter in frame but retaining the mineral tension and dark fruit character that define the appellation. Both wines reflect the volcanic soils and continental climate of Montepulciano, where Sangiovese has thrived for centuries. Barbicaia's portfolio centers on this single noble grape, allowing the terroir and winemaking choices to shape the conversation between vintage and vineyard.
