Great success for the Cum Laude 2006, a perfect marriage of the four red grape varieties present in the Banfi vineyards, which is praised with 90 points and reviewed as a great wine that is not only extremely balanced and refined, but also has ample ageing potential.

Standing out among all the award-winning wines is the SummuS 2006prestigious label of the Super Tuscan which, with its harmonious and balanced blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, was awarded 91 points by Wine Spectator.

Also reviewed was the Florus Moscadello di Montalcino 2007 Late Harvest which, on the strength of the long winemaking tradition that links it to the Montalcino area, was awarded 90 points and an excellent rating by James Suclkling, who considered it very similar to an excellent Sauternes.
