Castello Banfi
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
One of the classics of Banfi Montalcino production.
Controlled temperature (25-30° C) in Horizon steel and French oak hybrid tanks
80% in 60 and 90 hl French oak casks and 20% in 350 l French oak barriques for at least 2 years
Winery of Knowledge
A rich and elegant Brunello, as much in structure as in olfactory expression. The structure is powerful and the palate is pleasantly enveloped by a consistent tannic grain well balanced by pleasant acidity. Great aging potential and persistence.
Pairs especially well with rich, flavorful dishes. Perfect as a meditation wine.
