PRODUCTION TECHNIQUE

Our Banfi Brunello di Montalcino is a culmination 

of over three decades of Castello Banfi ’s pioneering 

research on the clones of Sangiovese; with the goal 

of producing a more outstanding quality Brunello. A 

meticulous grape selection is followed by vinifi cation 

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.

BOUQUET

Ethereal, violet, vanilla with hints of licorice.

TASTE 

Full, soft, velvety, with traces of spice.

FOOD PAIRING

and aged cheeses
