Castello Banfi’s Rosso di Montalcino is made from the same Sangiovese Grosso grapes as their Brunello, but aged less for a fresher, more vibrant profile. The 2019 vintage is a benchmark: red cherry, wild herbs, and just a touch of spice.
Juicy and medium-bodied, it’s perfect for casual Italian meals and a great intro to the Brunello experience.
Tasting Notes:
Sour cherry, violet, oregano, red plum, soft spice.
Food Pairing:
Margherita pizza, tomato pasta, pork chops, or mushroom risotto.
Accolades:
91 pts Wine Spectator; Best Rosso – Tuscan Wine Awards 2021.
Vineyard & Terroir:
Estate-grown grapes on clay-limestone soils near Montalcino.
Why We Like It:
It’s a “baby Brunello” with real pedigree and plenty of charm.
