Banfi Classico Chianti - 2005(W-520)

Banfi Classico Chianti
Earthy Spicy Smooth & Elegant

Winery Story

Castello Banfi crowns the summit of the first foothills rising from the plains of the Tuscan Maremma. Founded in the 9th century as Poggio a... (more...)lle Mura, the estate's gentle western slopes lie between the medieval hilltop town of Montalcino and the Mediterranean Sea. The wines express a profound respect of their heritage but have also been perfected by the innovative wine making techniques at Castello Banfi.

Tasting Note

Intense deep garnet-red color. Delicate aromas, with characteristic notes of plum, cherry, and a hint of leather. Supple tannins and a well-... (more...)balanced structure. Enjoyable now, but with the potential for medium- to long-term aging.

For the same price point I prefer Il Palagio Chianti Classico. this family owned 12th century estate located in Panzano in Chianti produces a higher quality chianti as well as a Tuscan blend callled Torgentile.
