Banfi improves its ESG rating: a recognized sustainability milestone
Â
In the landscape of corporate sustainability, the ESG Rating is a key indicator used to assess a company's commitment to environmental, social, and governance standards. Banfi confirmed an improvement in its ESG rating for 2023, achieving a BBB classification, which corresponds to a high-performance level.
Banfi's start and journey with ESG Rating
In 2022, the company embarked on a rigorous self-assessment of its environmental, social, and governance impact, relying on Cerved Rating Agency. This process enabled Banfi to measure its alignment with international best practices in sustainability, offering a clear picture of its strengths and areas in need of improvement. The initial benchmarking against the "Wine Producers" sector, based on aggregated 2021 data, had already placed Banfi above the industry median with a BB rating. However, aware of the potential for further progress, Banfi worked intensively to enhance its performance. The upgrade to a BBB rating in 2022 was the result of targeted actions and a consistent commitment across multiple areas. On the environmental front, Banfi made significant advances in measuring Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, supported by collaboration with the University of Siena. Assessments conducted in 2024 confirmed an increase in the ESG score within the BBB rating class, which was also reaffirmed for 2023.
The results achieved help the company continuously improve its performance and deepen its positive impact on the land, people, and the environment. With a forward-looking vision, Banfi aims to further strengthen its position in the wine sector by striving to reach even higher levels of sustainability. The path is clear: a continuous commitment and dedication to quality that not only raises corporate standards but also contributes to a more sustainable future for all—turning its claim into tangible action. "for a better wine world.
Domenico Francone Chef
"During my childhood, I loved accompanying my grandfather to the countryside, where he cultivated the vegetable garden, produced wine and oil, and where he also had a very small cattle farm. What fascinated me most, however, was when I returned home: the preparation of dishes with those same freshly harvested ingredients. Orecchiette alle cime di rapa' (orecchiette pasta with turnip tops) is the dish that sparked it in me. But in my childhood memories there are also the Sundays in Bari, my father's hometown, seasoned with real binges of fish bought from the fishermen on their return from the sea'.
Very attached to his homeland, this is how Chef Domenico Francone likes to introduce himself.

The story of Chef Domenico Francone
Â
His first experience in the world of catering, already in secondary school, is in pastry, a discipline that has always fascinated him.
His career path leads him to travel and experience in prestigious Italian and international restaurants. A Michelin star arrives in Tuscany, at il Ristorante Beck's Banfi, a Michelin Star in 2008.
After the restaurant closed, Chef Domenico Francone moved to London where he worked at the starred restaurant Heinz Beck's Apsleysstarred restaurant. A magical and exhausting moment at the same time, which gives birth to him with the desire to continue traveling, but which also triggers a strong nostalgia for returning to Tuscany, his land of adoption
And it was here that Banfi offered him a second opportunity: to become Executive Chef of La Taverna.
In addition to La Taverna, supported by a talented brigade in both the dining room and kitchen, chef Domenico Francone also reopens the other restaurant, La Sala dei Grappoli, leading him to conquest the Michelin Star in 2020.
Â
Â
The Chef's words following the achievement of the Michelin Star
"The arrival of the Michelin Star is a great achievement that rewards our immense work and our enormous passion. A conquest that renewes itself every day, when we try to tell our guests about the variety of tastes and colors of Italian cuisine, trying to enhance its infinite potential".
