Grape

Sangiovese

Origin
Castello Banfi is a family owned vineyard estate and winery in the Brunello region of Tuscany. The grapes for this Brunello are sourced from hillside sites with calcareous sandy topsoil and rounded stones.
Taste
A full bodied wine with hints of liquorice and chocolate complements the concentrated, velvety cherry fruits on the palate. Very well integrated tannins and long finish. Enjoy over the next 5 to 10 years.
Enjoy
Ideal partner to a roast garlic and thyme seasoned lamb with braised red cabbage and red wine sauce.

    Too young

    the 2005 is perfect but I tried this and it is WAY too young and now seen Parker thinks it's too young and Tannic too as a general assessment of Brunello. I think it need few years yet or will disappoint you as it did me.

Press Reviews

  • "Has fabulous aromas of blackberry, black cherry and raspberry. Full-bodied, with wonderfully integrated tannins, fresh mushrooms and milk chocolate. Chewy in the end. We will see if this is better than the 2001 with age. Best after 2010."
