Winemaking notes
Now run by the founders’ grandchildren, Castello Banfi has always remained in the family, despite becoming a major player in Tuscany’s win.
Viticultural notes
The alcoholic fermentation with a medium period of maceration is followed by at least 2 years of aging, of which a minimum of 12 months is in slavonian oak barrels. The wine concludes its evolution with at least 6 months of bottle aging.
Tasting notes
Color: Deep ruby-red. Bouquet: Rich with notes of cherries, plums, and iris. Taste: Deep cherry and leather flavors with subtle wood notes. Supple tannins, good acidity, and a lingering finish.
Pairing notes
Perfect with flavorful roasts, pastas, and cheeses.
