Banfi Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018 750mL

A classic from Banfi in Montalcino. The winter was rich in rainfall with little snow. The vegetative recovery phase took place during the usual times, with budding that developed in the second half of April. In May, copious rain favored the vegetative development. The summer of 2018 was particularly humid and characterized by frequent precipitations, often in form of storms. September and October, on the other hand, were sunny months, with temperatures higher than the seasonal average and good temperature ranges.

Grape Varietals: 

100% Sangiovese

Tasting Notes:

An intense and elegant Brunello. Ruby red with light garnet-colored nuances. On the nose, it is distinguished by an intense and fruity bouquet with sweet notes of plums, sour cherries, orange and spicy hints of myrtle, juniper and incense. Full-bodied and powerful. Soft and smooth tannins are well-integrated with a strong acidity. Excellent persistence for a Brunello: the synthesis of power and depth.

Food Pairings:

It pairs particularly well with rich and tasty dishes. Perfect as ameditation wine
