Banfi Sant'Antimo Summus 2016
An intense and deep Supertuscan that represents very well the potential of the three vines that compose it. The mild winter and the summer characterized by excellent temperature excursions between day and night, favored the excellent ripeness and quality of the grapes. Thanks to these conditions the wines are balanced and complex. The result is a wine characterized by a very intense aroma of ripe fruit and plum and cherry jam, accompanied by notes of vanilla, coffee and tobacco. Large, important and elegant structure. Long aging wine perfect with first courses of meat, such as spaghetti with white meat sauce or with vegetables based on vegetables, such as stuffed tomatoes or vegetable ratatouille.

Colour

Extremely compact purple ruby.

Bouquet

Balsamic incipit that leaves room for lots of fruit, gianduja chocolate and macerated flowers, then distant echoes of cinchona bark, spices and graphite.

Flavour

Elegant, soft and coherent, with vibrant freshness and tannic backbone, well balanced by the alcoholic embrace; closes with a persistent mineral vein.
