2020 Banfi Brunello di Montalcino

Aromas of ripe cherry and plum integrate with notes of licorice, tobacco, and forest floor. The palate features a velvety texture and firm tannins that provide a long, persistent finish.

Sustainable farming and hand-harvesting lead to a temperature-controlled fermentation in hybrid wood and stainless steel tanks. The wine matures for at least two years in French oak barrels of various sizes followed by an additional period of bottle aging.

The Banfi estate is located in the southern part of Montalcino, where vineyards are situated on the gentle slopes of the Orcia and Ombrone rivers. The sites feature diverse soils composed of calcareous clay and marine fossils, benefiting from a warm Mediterranean climate.
