Castello Banfi is a family owned estate in the Brunello region of Tuscany. Known in the 13th century as Poggio alle Mura, Castello Banfi is a rarety among Italian wine estates.

Wine Making:
The grapes are vinified with a brief maceration. Once the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are completed, the wine is aged for a short period in small oak barrels and bottled in the Spring following the harvest. An appropriate bottle aging follows. The best tradition of the Sangiovese grape in Tuscany that, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, allows a youthful and intensely fruity blend. The ideal companion of simple dishes but also suitable for more complex matches.
