Description

A classic from Banfi in Montalcino.2015 will certainly be included among the great harvests of Montalcino.The copious winter and spring rains, alternating with sunny and breezydays, ensured proper water storage in the ground, together with ahomogenous growth of the grapes in the months of May and June. Thesummer period, with rather high temperatures, favored the regulardevelopment of the grape. At the same time, the ripening took placegradually and perfectly thanks to the good day/night temperatureranges. The almost total absence of rain, both during the ripening and theharvest, and the mild temperatures of September, as well as facilitatingthe harvest operations, preserved the health of the grapes.Huge potential for this elegant and powerful Brunello.rTasting Notes:rDeep red with garnet nuances, the nose reveals its complexity with aromas of plum, ripe cherry and small red fruits that perfectly combine with those of licorice and tobacco. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, with pleasant and soft tannins. Intense finish and great persistence.rFood Pairings:rIt pairs particularly well with rich and tasty dishes. Perfect as a meditation wine.r94 Points – James Sucklingr94 Points – Winescriticr93 Points – Wine Spectatorr93 Points – Robert Parkerr
