Banfi Chianti Superiore 2022

Banfi Chianti Superiore 2022 is an approachable, vibrant, and classically styled Tuscan red wine produced by the renowned Castello Banfi estate. Visually displaying an intense ruby red color, it opens with an inviting bouquet of fresh red cherries, wild strawberries, and red plums, elegantly layered with subtle floral notes of violets, dried herbs, and a touch of light spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, smooth, and well-balanced, featuring soft, supple tannins and a crisp line of natural acidity that enhances its juicy red fruit core, leading into a clean, dry, and pleasantly persistent finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with classic pasta with tomato sauce, Margherita pizza, roasted chicken, grilled pork chops, cured charcuterie, and medium-aged cheeses.

On the nose, tart fruit aromas of cherries, raspberries and blackberries are balanced by the cooling, metallic depth of topsoil and graphite. That balance continues on the palate, which is rooted in firm but pliable tannins and enlivened by acid.
