Descrizione

The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2020 in Magnum format from Castello Banfi best expresses the elegance and power of Sangiovese Grosso, the emblematic grape variety of this renowned Tuscan denomination. It is born in the well-exposed lands of Montalcino, where the Mediterranean climate and the galestro-rich soil confer extraordinary organoleptic characteristics. The aging, carried out for at least 36 months in oak barrels, gives the wine a complex and velvety structure, with aromas of ripe cherry, tobacco, sweet spices, and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, it is full and enveloping, with smooth tannins and a very long finish that invites slow and thoughtful tasting.

Perfect companion for red meats, braised dishes, and aged cheeses, this Brunello di Castello Banfi offers an intense sensory experience, the result of respect for the territory and the winemaking tradition of Montalcino. The Magnum bottle, ideal for special occasions, further enhances the longevity and finesse of this great wine.
