Description
Still red from the prestigious Rosso di Montalcino DOC, 14.5% ABV, produced by Castello Banfi. 100% Sangiovese blend. 0.75 L bottle, 2023 vintage. A Rosso di Montalcino that embodies the excellence of Tuscany. The bouquet is rich, with hints of cherry and blackberry that blend beautifully with notes of tobacco and licorice. Ruby red in color. The structure is soft and enveloping, well-supported by just the right amount of acidity. The finish is long and mellow. Fermentation took place in the combined steel and wood "Horizon" fermentation tanks at a temperature of 20-30°C and with a maceration of 70 days. The wine is aged in 350 L French oak barriques for 12 months.
