Intense ruby red in color with garnet reflections. Aromas of violets and vanilla, with hints of licorice. Velvety palate, with tart-cherry flavors and traces of spice. Well structured with supple tannins, superb concentration, and good acidity. Persistent finish.Brunello di Montalcino was Italys first wine to be accorded DOCG status, a testament to its aristocracy, balance and fabulous proclivity for aging.Our Banfi Brunello di Montalcino is a culmination of over two decades of Castello Banfis pioneering research on the clones of Sangiovese; with the goal of producing a more outstanding quality Brunello. A meticulous grape selection is followed by vinification with skin contact for 10-12 days. Released in the 5th year after harvest, the wine is aged for a minimum of 4 years, including 2 years in oak barrels of various sizes, mainly French oak barriques, and partly in Slavonian oak casks.Perfect with red meats, wild game and aged cheeses. – Castello Banfi
