VARIETIES Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese, and Syrah from Estate vineyards.
DESCRIPTION A captivating Supertuscan that joins the four red varieties, selected as the best in the history of Banfi for our vineyards in Montalcino. The mild winter temperatures and low rainfall allowed the vines to begin the growing cycle within the standard timeframe. During the night of April 8, some vineyards were hit by a late frost, which delayed the phenological phases of the vines. However, thanks to mild temperatures and sunny days in the spring, the vines were able to regain their growth and production balance, reaching excellent ripening during the following months. The harvest began slightly later than usual, but the continuous ventilation and good temperature fluctuations in August and September allowed the grapes to develop excellent acidity with very interesting aromatic profiles. Intense mauve red color. Red fruits, cherry and small fruits emerge on the nose, accompanied by well balanced spicy notes of licorice and pepper. In the mounth, the structure is broad, with sweet and powerful tannins. Balanced with a persistent finish. The wine has a great aging potential.
Perfect pairing with soups, as well as red and white meats.
