Banfi, Toscana, Centine Rosso
Producer Note
Founded in 1978 by the vision of Italian-American brothers John and Harry Mariani, Banfi represents a superb marriage of winemaking passion and technological innovation. In collaboration with Ezio Rivella, one of Italy's most eminent winemakers, the land purchased in Montalcino was transformed into a crucible of quality and potential. The subsequent acquisition of the historic Piedmontese winery Bruzzone, further enriched the portfolio. Banfi is committed to responsible environmental stewardship and has obtained the sustainable Equalitas certification, at organisational and product level, for some productions. Their Brunello di Montalcino Poggio all’Oro 2016 was the first Brunello di Montalcino to obtain this certification. This legendary producer has a pioneering spirit, and their series of quintessential wines are not only world class, but they also perfectly encapsulate their terroir. Recently, Banfi featured in the Top 100 of The World’s Best Vineyard Awards 2025.
Tasting Note
Red colour with mauve highlights. Fresh, sweet and fruity aromas of blackberry and ripe cherry are accompanied by delicate spicy notes of cocoa, tobacco and liquorice. An elegant, balanced wine with a full, round structure balanced by great softness, enveloping, with a long lingering finish.
