Description

The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Vigna 2018 by Banfi is born in the heart of Tuscany, precisely in the renowned area of Montalcino, land suited to the Sangiovese grosso grape variety. This vintage stands out for its elegance and structure, the result of meticulous aging in oak barrels that enhance the aromatic complexity without overpowering the freshness of the fruit.

In the glass, it shows an intense ruby red color with garnet reflections, while the bouquet opens with scents of ripe cherry, plum, and light spicy notes of vanilla and sweet tobacco. On the palate, it is enveloping and round, with silky tannins and a persistent finish that recalls the mineral character of the Tuscan soil. The magnum format amplifies the gustatory evolution over time, making this bottle ideal for aging.

The perfect companion for important meat dishes, roasts, and aged cheeses, this Brunello expresses all the richness and tradition of Tuscany’s most prestigious denomination.

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.
