Banfi features in the story of the fifty years that transformed the world of wine by Jancis Robinson in the Financial Times.
In her article “Mi occupo di vino da 50 anni. Ecco 50 modi in cui è cambiato”, Robinson traces half a century of evolutions witnessed firsthand: from consumption to markets, from the spread of international grape varieties to the growth of wine tourism, right through to the new centrality of the vineyard, sustainability and the challenges linked to climate change.
Banfi also has a place among the stages of this journey. Robinson recalls the role of the Mariani family with Banfi Vintners and the development of 700 hectares of vineyards in Montalcino, described as one of Italy's finest wine regions.
A passage that recalls a fundamental phase of our history: the arrival in Montalcino and the building of a winemaking project destined to develop over time, while the international wine scene was changing profoundly.
A story that, as told by Jancis Robinson in the Financial Times, intertwines with half a century of changes in markets, consumption, and the global geography of wine.
