Banfi and New Holland together at Expo 2015

During Expo Milano 2015 Banfi was invited to present a selection of its wines in the New Holland Agriculture pavilion. The two companies, both at the forefront of their respective fields, share a common goal: a commitment to sustainability and quality.

The first wine company in Italy to complete the certification process in 2006, the year in which it obtained SA8000, Banfi has always promoted programmes of low environmental impact cultivation based on the protection of biodiversity, the responsible use of resources and the containment of erosive phenomena.

In addition to using a system for washing agricultural machinery called Biobed, which decontaminates residues making them biodegradable, in recent years Banfi has reduced the weight of its bottles, achieving significant environmental benefits, and, thanks to an agreement with Repower, has completed the transition from traditional to renewable energy sources, contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions.

In the New Holland pavilion, Banfi will present a selection of its fine labels:

• Poggio alle Mura, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
• Poggio alle Mura, Rosso di Montalcino DOC
• Fonte alla Selva, Chianti Classico DOCG
• La Pettegola, Vermentino Toscana IGT

Banfi Castle The Borgo

Castello Banfi Il Borgo is an 18th century farming village that grew up next to the medieval castle of Banfi. The village ('Il Borgo' in Italian), has been restored and converted into a luxury resort, and is part of a 7,100-acre property, where high quality red wines are produced. The hotel's 14 rooms and suites reflect this heritage, and each is named after the labels produced by Banfi. Expect plenty of historical charm throughout the property; picturesque stone buildings with wooden beams, brick arches, and terracotta floors. The elegant swimming pool has breathtaking views of the vineyards, and there are also two restaurants, a wine shop, and a glass museum.

In the latest issue of Hideaway Report by Andrew Harper, Castello Banfi was selected among the most striking properties in the Montalcino area.

To receive a recommendation from Mr Harper, the establishment must possess exceptional character, a commitment to classic hospitality and in-depth local knowledge.

After several years of absence, the classic Christmas Gospel concert returns to Montalcino organised by Banfi.

As a testament to its love of jazz music (Jazz & Wine in Montalcino) and to celebrate the upcoming Christmas holidays, Banfi is hosting on Sunday 21 December at 21.30 (Church of Sant'Agostino, Montalcino - Free Entrance) i Chicago High Spirits.

Banfi and the Christmas Gospel Concert

The group of Chicago High Spirits is composed of eight elements, which lead us to the essence of Spiritual and Gospel Song music, with unequalled power and persuasive force, the result of the performers' work and instinct. The singers have sumptuous voices, with accents that are at times raucous and at other times dulcet, and they shine for the variety and diversity of their repertoire, distinguished by their superb harmony, great cohesion and vocal power.

The talented New York vocalist stands out in the group Joy Garrison, who had already thrilled the large and enthusiastic audience at the opening concert at Castello Banfi of the 2013 edition of the Jazz & Wine in Montalcino festival with his performance.

The constant commitment of the members is the basis of their successes all over the world; collaborations with internationally renowned performers include Bocelli, Zucchero, Crawford, Amii Stewart, Ricciarelli, Gasdia. Their appearances at the Vatican Concert for the Pope in Mondovisione in 1995 and at the Artists' Jubilee were important.
