Banfi Brunello di Montalcino 2020
Ruby red with delicate garnet coloured highlights. On the nose, it is characterised by an intense bouquet with sweet notes of blackberry and blackcurrant, combined with floral hints of rose, which contribute freshness and vitality. The body is full and powerful. Soft, smooth tannins are well integrated with a marked acidity.
The vineyards are located in the hilly area of the estate, with a low to moderate incline. The soils vary according to different types of sediments, from the clay sands of the marine Pliocene, deep soils with abundant and calcareous stones, to the gray-blue clays which are moderately deep mineral soils that tend to retain humidity. Vines are spur cordon and Banfi Albarello (Gobelet) trained with a density of 2400 – 5500 vines/ha yielding 65 q/ha.
Fermentation in temperature-controlled (25-30°C) Horizon hybrid French oak and stainless-steel tanks followed by ageing for a minimum of 2 years, 40% in French oak casks (90-60 hl.) and 60% in French oak barriques (350 l.).
Founded in 1978 by the vision of Italian-American brothers John and Harry Mariani, Banfi represents a marriage of winemaking passion and technological innovation.Through collaboration with Ezio Rivella, one of Italy's most eminent winemakers, the land purchased in Montalcino was transformed into a crucible of quality and potential. The acquisition of the historic Piedmontese winery Bruzzone subsequently further enriched the portfolio, integrating the wine tradition of Piedmont into the Banfi world. Banfi has obtained the Equalitas certification both at organisational and product level (for some specific productions). ‘We see a global and connected world, where differences are prosperity. The products of our land, to be defended and enhanced, are the best expression of human labour and ingenuity’. ‘Always pioneers, we value research and people, respecting the territories in which we work. For a better wine world.’ Cristina Mariani-May – third family generation and CEO of Banfi.
