Description

Banfi, in fact, was one of the seven companies that accepted the gamble of starting a production of quality Metodo Classico sparkling wines in Piedmont in the early 1990s, thus reclaiming the Piedmontese roots of the Italian sparkling wine sector. The project continued over the years. In 1997 the 'Cuvée Aurora' was born, precisely to evoke the idea of a new frontier, a new 'dawn' of quality Metodo Classico production in Piedmont.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1978

  • 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.
