Colombini family that runs Fattoria dei Barbi is one such family. The second oldest estate in Montalcino, it's pioneer non pareil. The estate extends over 306 hectares (around 757 acres) at Montalcino and Scansano. Stefano Cinelli Colombini, heir of the ancient Sienese line that has been present in Montalcino since 1352, runs this family property. Stefano and Fattoria Dei Barbi have also been key contributors in helping Montalcino develop into the current attraction to the outside world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Fattoria has always been a careful custodian of tradition, but also attentive to innovation and a pioneer in every sphere of winemaking. It was the first firm in Montalcino to export bottled wine to France (1817), the first to sell Brunello by mail order (1832), the first to export it to America (1962), England (1969) and Japan (1975). In the 1960s the estate was a pioneer in using organic fertilizers, in the 1990s it created the first \"artificial nose\" for analyzing wine, and in 2000 was one of the first to use carbon dioxide for cold fermentation of red wines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 66 hectares of the farm have an average density of about 5,000 vines and produce on the average less than 1.5 kg of grapes per vine; thus each vine produces only a little more than one bottle of wine. The philosophy of the Colombini family and the Fattoria dei Barbi has always been to know and study the most innovative technology and then wed it to the best tradition, so as to improve everything they produce without ever changing its distinguishing characteristics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAncestors of the estate have also been known to be the first family who started mail order wine delivery in Tuscany!

When you go back 30-40 years, with majority of the land farmed by peasant farmers, there weren't a lot of wineries in the old world in Italy and France with the financial and technological means to make a great bottle, have the ability to control and reduce the yield without losing their daily bread, and have the place and ability to store bottles for decades.
