Banfi Rosso di Montalcino 2024

Banfi Rosso di Montalcino 2024 is a vibrant and highly approachable expression of 100% Sangiovese from the renowned hills of southern Montalcino. This classic Tuscan red opens with intense aromas of ripe cherry, red currant, and fresh blackberry, complemented by elegant floral notes of violet and rose petals. On the palate, it delivers a fresh, fruit-forward core beautifully balanced by lively, energetic acidity and soft, well-integrated tannins. Subtle hints of spice and an underlying savory minerality emerge in the mid-palate, leading into a smooth, persistent, and clean finish that makes it exceptionally food-friendly.

Food Pairing: This versatile red pairs wonderfully with traditional Tuscan fare, including pasta with tomato-based meat ragù, grilled pork sausages, roasted chicken, wild mushroom risotto, and medium-aged cheeses like Pecorino Toscano.
