One of the classics of Banfi Montalcino production.
Soil: hill area of the estate under vine, with low to moderate incline. The soils develop on different types of sediments, from the clay sands of the marine Pliocene, deep soils with abundant and calcareous stones, to the gray-blue clays which are moderately deep mineral soils that tend to retain humidity.
Trellising System: spurred cordon – Banfi aberello
Vine Density: 4200 - 5500 vines/ha.
Hectar Yield: 70-75 q/ha.
Sangiovese.
Fermentation: in temperature-controlled (20-30°C) stainless-steel tanks
Aging: in French oak casks (90-60 hl.) and in French oak barrique (350 l.) for 3-6 months
A complex wine characterized by a great varietal expression. On the nose, aromas of blackberries and raspberry meet coffee and tobacco hints. In the mouth the structure is wide, harmonious and well balanced by the typical acidity of the vintage. Excellent and persistent finish on the palate.
Ideal pairing with game and medium-aged cheeses. The remarkable structure allows a good aging.
