The family business founded in 1938, finds its perfect location in the Valdichiana area, on the slopes of Monte Cetona, surrounded by green hills and vineyards. Wine making is an art that has been deeply felt by the two brothers Marco and Paolo Barbanera, who took over the business started by their grandparents at least thirty years earlier. Today, Barbanera is a modern and dynamic reality that mainly operates on international market. Indeed, it has an extremely versatile bottling plant capable of satisfying the multiple needs of customers that are increasingly in need of diversification. For this purpose, beside the main lines, those developed by the customers themselves have also taken shape and spread. One of the strengths of Barbanera, has always been to grant them the absolute freedom to customize their products without ever lacking quality and punctuality. Even if firmly remaining devoted to Tuscan traditions, over the times it has thus shown a certain propensity to reinvent itself by opening to welcome collaborations with important extra-regional companies.
Together with autochthonous wines from the region, the assortment also includes those from Puglia and Sicily, as well as Umbria, Abruzzo and Marche. A collection of selected products throughout Italy, to which new ones may be added soon. Furthermore, with the aim of certifying the good organization and standardization of the production processes, various certificates have been successfully obtained, such as: IFS, BRC. Of at least the same importance is the fact that Barbanera has the will to establish a relationship of mutual trust with its customers, which is guaranteed not only by its commitment to constantly improve its services, but also by subjecting its wines to impartial judgements.
