The Castello Banfi estate, through its history and commitment, has become a major player in this prestigious appellation, scrupulously respecting traditional methods to reveal the quintessence of its vines.
The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2021 from Castello Banfi reveals itself to the eye with a deep ruby red color, heralding its richness. On the nose, you will be enveloped by a rich and complex bouquet, where notes of ripe red fruits, cherry and violet mingle, enhanced by spicy touches, tobacco and even subtle balsamic nuances.
