Banfi Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2013 750mL

One of the classic Banfi production in Montalcino. The growing cycle began with a significant delay, with some rains during the Spring. June was marked by cooler temperatures, under the seasonal average. August and September were hot and dry, but the ripening, despite two weeks’ delay, have been supported by water
reserves of the previous months. Summer nights were characterized by cooler temperatures, contributing to the improvement of the quality of the grapes. From the end of September, rainfall was abundant, causing problems during the ripening, without affecting the vineyards. The correct grapes maturation has taken the wine to have soft tannins, consequently it is well balanced and elegant.
