Description

This Toscana IGT 2018 Excelsus in Jéroboam format by Banfi represents an enological excellence of the famous Tuscan estate. The result of a carefully selected blend, it enhances the territory recognized for its ideal conditions of altitude and clay-limestone soils. The maturation method in large oak barrels gives complexity and structure to the wine, balancing freshness and aromatic intensity.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby red color, accompanied by enveloping aromas of ripe wild berries, spicy hints, and light balsamic notes. On the palate, it reveals a soft but well-defined tannic texture, with a full body and elegant persistence.

Perfect to accompany braised dishes, red meats, and aged cheeses, this wine in Jéroboam format is ideal for moments of sharing and important occasions, fully expressing the identity and style of Banfi in Tuscany.

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.
