From this winery
  • Start up year: 1978
  • Oenologist: Matteo Bagnoli
  • Bottles produced: 10.000.000
  • Hectares: 1.089
Founded in 1978 by the vision of Italian-American brothers John and Harry Mariani, Banfi represents a marriage of winemaking passion and technological innovation. Through collaboration with Ezio Rivella, one of Italy's most eminent winemakers, the land purchased in Montalcino was transformed into a crucible of quality and potential. The acquisition of the historic Piedmontese winery Bruzzone subsequently further enriched the portfolio, integrating the sparkling wine tradition of Piedmont into the Banfi world.

Always pioneers, we value research and people, respecting the territories in which we work. For a better wine world. We see a global and connected world, where differences are wealth. The products of our land, to be defended and enhanced, are the best expression of human labor and ingenuity. Read more

Origin Montalcino (Siena).
Climate The climatic course of the vintage is a textbook example of winegrowing. All the phenological phases of the vine took place in the optimal period and under optimal climatic conditions. A rainy winter allowed the soils to build an excellent water reserve, which the vines could draw on during the summer. Thanks to the cool spring, the vines developed a balanced vegetation, which they could maintain until the harvest. The presence of rainfall during the veraison period was fundamental in guaranteeing the correct plant metabolism and, therefore, the balanced ripening of the grape's carbohydrates and polyphenols. Finally, the excellent night-time temperature fluctuations during the autumn period allowed the development of intense varietal aromas. At harvest, the grapes were very healthy.
