Comment on noteThe wine
Today I invite you to explore a wine that embodies the very essence of Tuscany: the Summus from the Banfi estate. It is a meeting between tradition and a certain boldness, a perfect balance that will surprise you with its depth and elegance. Let me guide you toward this authentic gem.
This wine, a Toscana IGT, takes root in the heart of the Montalcino hills, a region I am particularly fond of for its viticultural richness. The Banfi estate, with its history and expertise, carefully cultivates the grape varieties that will give birth to this cuvée. The Summus 2021 is the fruit of a thoughtful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Syrah, each bringing its own signature to the whole.
From the very first glance, its robe envelops you in an intense color, a prelude to the aromatic complexity that awaits you. On the nose, I first perceive a generosity of ripe fruits and jam, then deeper notes of tobacco, coffee and delicate spices reveal themselves, the result of meticulous aging of 12 to 18 months. The fermentation, meanwhile, takes place at controlled temperature in vats combining steel and French Horizon oak, a method that contributes to its structure. On the palate, you will discover a harmonious wine, endowed with soft tannins and a beautiful persistence that irresistibly invites the next sip. It stands out for its balance between structure and finesse, a true signature of this estate.
This Summus 2021 is a wine for sharing, an ideal companion for moments when gastronomy takes center stage. I particularly recommend it with robust dishes: think of grilled red meats, a braised game dish, or a selection of aged cheeses. Its personality and depth will enhance every bite, transforming a simple meal into a true celebration of Tuscan flavors.
Banfi's Summus is more than a wine; it is an invitation to a sensory journey to the heart of Tuscany. You will find there the estate's excellence, the richness of its terroir and the passion that animates each bottle. It is a wine that leaves a mark, a true gem to discover and savor, which will leave you with a memorable impression of this region I love so much.
