Type: Red Wine Classification: DOCG Company: Banfi Year: 2019 Region: Tuscany. Grape variety: 100% Sangiovese; Size: 750 ml. Category: Brunello di Montalcino. Production method: The meticulous selection of grapes is followed by vinification with maceration of the skins at a controlled temperature in combined steel and wood Horizon vats, which lasts approximately 10–12 days. The wine ages for 2 years, 50% in French oak barrels (60–90 hl) and 50% in French oak barriques (3.5 hl); during this period, scrupulous controls are carried out, until the wine is aged in the bottle for 8–12 months. Alcohol content: 14%. Pairings: Red meat dishes. Serving temperature: 16–18°C. Sommelier’s Comment: A vintage with a strong structure, and the excellent ripening of the grapes has simultaneously favored sweetness, balance, and harmony. A deep red color with garnet nuances. On the nose, it releases complex aromas, with hints of plum jam, tobacco, and a hint of licorice. The structure is substantial and powerful, characterized by very soft and sweet tannins, which add dimension without being aggressive. Long and persistent on the finish, it is undoubtedly a wine suited to long aging.
