Castello Banfi - Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
2021, Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy
Profile & Story
Decades of research, in search of the optimal selection of clones shared with other Montalcino producers, innovation, work in the vineyards and an unwavering commitment to excellence allows for the cultivation of multiple expressions of Brunello di Montalcino- from our classic Brunello, soft and elegant, to our Poggio alle Mura “house style”-a blend of power and finesse, to our single vineyard Riserva-a consummate expression of terroir. The entire collection is fermented in our patented Horizon hybrid fermenters of stainless steel and French oak … there is no question that Brunello is the heart of Castello Banfi.
Tasting Notes
An intense, elegant, and well-balanced Brunello. Ruby red with slight garnet reflections. On the nose, it stands out for its sweet and fruity aroma with notes of plum, ripe cherry, and small red fruits, perfectly balanced with hints of licorice and pipe tobacco. Soft, polished tannins are well integrated with a marked acidity that gives this Brunello a lively and powerful structure. A wine with excellent persistence and great aging potential.
