Castello Banfi Rosso di Montalcino - 2005(W-961)

Castello Banfi Rosso di Montalcino
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 ruby-red color. Fruit-forward aromas reminiscent of blackberries and plums, with light notes of tobacco and coffee. The structure is... (more...) very concentrated and balanced.

With ample fruit (blackberry, plum, cherry) and acidity I found this an excellent food wine.
