A captivating Supertuscan that joins the four red varieties, selected as the best in the history of Banfi for our vineyards in Montalcino.
Soil: various types, from sandy clay sediments with abundant pebbles and well-draining to calcareous clay soils that tend to retain humidity.
Trellising System: spurred cordon – Banfi alberello
Planting Density: 4200 vines/ha.
Yield: 60 q/ha.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese, Syrah
Fermentation: in temperature-controlled (25-30°C) in Horizon hybrid French oak and stainless-steel tanks
Aging: a brief wood passage – the Sangiovese in barrels (60 hl. and 90 hl,) and the other varieties in barriques of 350 lt.
A wine with an excellent potential. On the nose the scent is characterized by hints of red fruits with intense cherry tones, accompanied by spicy notes of licorice and pepper. Broad structure, with sweet and powerful tannins, very balanced with a persistent finish.
Long aging wine, a perfect pairing with soups, as well as red and white meats.
