Description
Still red Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva, 14.5% ABV, produced by Banfi with 100% Sangiovese, 2015 vintage. A Brunello born from the passion of the Mariani brothers, founders of Banfi in 1978, and the collaboration with Ezio Rivella. Aged for 2 years in French oak barriques and large barrels, followed by 12 months in bottle. Ample and rich, with aromas of plum jam, coffee, cocoa, and a light balsamic note. Deep red color with garnet hues. Great power and fullness, with ripe, gentle tannins that make it velvety and harmonious.
