An intense, elegant, and balanced Brunello. Ruby red with slight garnet reflections. On the nose, it stands out for its sweet and fruity aroma with hints of currant and blackberry, perfectly balanced with notes of licorice and pipe tobacco. Soft, polished tannins are well-integrated with a pronounced acidity that gives this Brunello a lively and powerful structure. A wine with excellent persistence and great aging potential. It pairs particularly well with rich and tasty dishes. Perfect as a meditation wine. 

One of the classics of Banfi Montalcino production.

100% Sangiovese. Aging in 80% in French oak casks (90-60 hl.) and 20% in French oak barriques (350 l.) for 2 years at least.

Youthful profile here with almost vinous character. Abundant violets and roses on the nose, together with cherries and pomegranates. Fruity again on the medium- to full-bodied palate with firm, velvety tannins, a lot of freshness and good length. Plenty of substance and alcohol. It will need time to integrate. Best after 2026.

The Castello Banfi 2020 Brunello di Montalcino opens to a velvety character that includes the softness and generosity of a warm and dry vintage. The bouquet is redolent of cherry, blackcurrant, grilled herb and sweet rose. This Brunello is open-knit and accessible. It has sweet tannins on the close. Anticipated Maturity: 2025-2038
