Banfi Coli Senesi 2020 showcases the character of Sangiovese from the hills around Siena in Tuscany, one of Italy’s most celebrated wine regions. Made by the renowned Castello Banfi, this wine offers an accessible yet distinctly Tuscan style, balancing vibrant fruit with savoury complexity and refreshing acidity.
On the palate, expect flavours of ripe cherries, red berries and plums, complemented by subtle violet, herbs and gentle spice. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without making the wine feel heavy, while lively acidity keeps the finish fresh and food-friendly.
A versatile Italian red, this is a great choice for everyday Tuscan drinking, whether alongside pasta, pizza, grilled meats or classic Italian dishes.
