Banfi Belnero 2015
Belnero is the expression of the strong and indissoluble bond of Banfi with the terroir of Montalcino. A wine that celebrates the experience, the passion and the thirty-year commitment to quality that the company has pursued, uninterruptedly, in its constant journey in search of excellence, in the vineyard as well as in the cellar. It is produced with mainly Sangiovese grapes, the emblematic vine of the Montalcino tradition, assembled, from time to time, with those international vines that have now found their natural habitat in this region. The structure, important and well balanced, makes it ideal for long aging.

Bouquet
