Banfi Excelsus 2018
A Supertuscan that perfectly combines the best tradition of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with the territory of Montalcino. The mild winter and the summer, characterized by excellent temperature excursions between day and night, favoured the excellent ripeness and quality of the grapes. Thanks to these conditions, the wines are balanced and complex. The result is an intense wine with fruity scents and more complex notes of jam, spices, tobacco and coffee. It shows all its grandeur in the mouth, with sweet tannins and very persistent hints. An exquisite long-lasting wine, perfect with red meats and aged cheeses.

Colour

Ruby, slightly garnet.

Bouquet

Notes of small berries in gelatin, withering red roses, forest tones, lavender, rhubarb candy, leather, cedar wood, and beeswax, with a sprinkling of cumin, cloves and paprika, framed in a broad balsamic structure.

Flavour

Very pleasant and particularly smooth, characterized by a persuasive spiciness in the long finish.

Pairing

Meat
Game
Cheese
Matured cheese
