Description
What kind of wine it is
Centine Rosé is a still rosé wine crafted by Banfi, created from a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot. In the glass, it displays a delicate pale pink colour and a clear aromatic profile. On the nose, pronounced notes of cherry emerge, combined with hints of small red fruits. On the palate, the Merlot provides softness and volume, balanced by a pleasant freshness. The sip is dry, structured, and finishes with a long, savoury aftertaste that invites another taste.
Where it comes from
This blend originates in Tuscany, reflecting the character of a region with a great winemaking tradition. Produced under the Toscana denomination, the wine interprets the territory through Banfi's careful approach. The estate adopts sustainable practices, ensuring respect for the land. Thanks to ideal climatic conditions, the grapes reach perfect ripeness, enhancing the fruity freshness and natural elegance of the varieties used.
How it is produced
The winemaking process involves the separate fermentation of Sangiovese and Merlot in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures. Afterwards, the wine undergoes maturation in steel on the lees for at least two months. This stage enriches the structure, giving the palate a pleasant softness and excellent volume, while maintaining vibrant freshness and an extremely clean aromatic profile.
