Description

The Toscana IGT 2020 Summus by Balthazar Banfi is a wine that elegantly and powerfully expresses the essence of the Tuscan territory. Produced in one of the most renowned areas of the region, it is characterized by a skillfully assembled blend that enhances both native and international varieties, giving the wine a rich and harmonious profile. The long aging in oak barrels helps to impart aromatic complexity, intertwining notes of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and touches of vanilla with a balanced tannic structure and a pleasant lasting finish. In the glass, it shows an intense and deep color, while on the nose it opens with enveloping and refined aromas. Perfect to accompany red meats, game, and aged cheeses, the Summus by Balthazar Banfi is a sophisticated expression of Tuscan winemaking tradition, capable of surprising and captivating even the most demanding palates.

Winery history

Cantina Santi was founded as a winery in Illasi and has been present in Valpolicella since the 19th century. During the 20th century the Santi family introduced technical innovations and progressively focused on high-end wines; in 1974 the winery became part of Gruppo Italiano Vini, which reinforced investments and facilities while preserving its local identity.

Production philosophy

Santi claims a style tied to the sense of place of Valpolicella: it favors the predominant use of Corvina in its selections, aging in large traditional casks, and the use of local woods to enhance the aromatic qualities typical of native grape varieties. The approach combines oenological research with respect for local practices.

Terroir and vineyards

Santi's vineyards and selections are concentrated in Val d'Illasi and the classic areas of Valpolicella, using a vineyard-selection approach across different exposures and microclimates to produce wines that reflect the local terroir. The winery also works with vineyards in other Veronese appellations such as Soave, Bardolino and Lugana.
