90 points from wine enthusiast at Belnero 2005

Precious fruit of Banfi's 30-year commitment to quality in its constant pursuit of excellence, it was awarded the excellent score of 90 points in Wine Enthusiast, one of the most influential international wine magazines.

Produced from predominantly Sangiovese grapes, the emblematic variety of Montalcino tradition, the Belnero presented itself right from the start with a great vintage, 2005, which provided elegance and expressiveness, together with an important and well-balanced structure.

"Belnero is the new wine from Castello Banfi that offers a beautiful aromatic complex, with hints of blueberry, plum, wet earth, tobacco and spices. The slight note of over-ripeness is well integrated with fresh fruit aromas and good acidity. This excellent Sangiovese-based wine is reminiscent of many of the pleasant characteristics of Brunello di Montalcino'.
