Banfi Brunello di Montalcino 2021

Banfi Brunello di Montalcino 2021 is a landmark expression of Tuscany’s most prestigious red wine, representing a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern precision. The 2021 vintage in Montalcino is highly anticipated, characterized by a long, balanced growing season that allowed for exceptional phenolic ripeness and aromatic complexity. Sourced from the estate’s prized hillside vineyards, this 100% Sangiovese was matured for at least two years in a combination of French oak barrels and larger Slavonian oak casks, followed by extensive bottle aging. On the nose, it offers an opulent bouquet of ripe cherries, blackberries, and violets, seamlessly layered with tertiary notes of leather, tobacco, and subtle vanilla. The palate is full-bodied and well-structured, featuring powerful yet velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that carries flavours of dark fruit and balsamic through to an exceptionally long, elegant finish.
