Banfi are pioneers in the Brunello Region and is the first winery in the world awarded international recognition for exceptional, environmental, ethical, and social responsibility. “Credited with pioneering a new era in Brunello and bringing the wine world’s attention to Montalcino, they're making some of the most exciting Brunellos in the market today. In fact, it is hard to think of a more consistently outstanding Brunello producer than Banfi.” - James Suckling

On the bouquet, it is defined by intense and fruity aromas with notes of red plums, maraschino cherries, orange and spicy hints of crushed thyme, juniper, and incense.

A strikingly intense Brunello yet it has elegance with a long detailed, and chiselled finish. Full-bodied and powerful and a wine that builds and builds in the mouth and becoming more engaging with every sip. The tannins are soft and smooth, framing the fruit with precision and respect, giving way to a strong acid line on the finish. A superb Brunello that will cellar for 10 years+. Serve with stews, pasta and hard cheese. For optimal drinking pleasure serve at 16-17 degrees.
