Brunello di Montalcino was Italy’s 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 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 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
