Montalcino, 4 December 2008 - Castello Banfi presents a prestigious new label, the "Belnero"expression of the company's strong and indissoluble bond with the Montalcino terroir.

A wine that celebrates and exalts an entire territory, while at the same time highlighting the thirty-year commitment to quality that Banfi has pursued, uninterruptedly, in its constant quest for excellence, in the vineyard as well as in the cellar.

Belnero - the terroir of Montalcino in Banfi's new label

Belnero' is produced from predominantly Sangiovese grapes, the emblematic vine of Montalcino tradition, blended, from time to time, with those international varieties that have now found their natural habitat in this region.

The first vintage vinified was 2005. A great vintage that conferred elegance and expressiveness, together with an important and well-balanced structure, which makes Belnero ideal for long ageing, even though it can be enjoyed immediately.
