About

Ratings:

91+

"Bright red. Deep, pure aromas of red cherry, blackcurrant, spices and minerals on the refined, captivating nose. Enters the mouth bright and fresh, then turns chewier and fleshier in the middle, with sweet red cherry and licorice flavors nicely extended by smooth tannins and harmonious acidity. Very serious, well-made Brunello; off-hand, I can't remember the last time I liked a Brunello normale from Banfi this much."

91 Wine Spectator

"A vibrant, cherry- and black currant-flavored red, with a bracing structure that drives to the lingering conclusion. The tannins are pronounced yet well-integrated, with hints of spice and tobacco on the finish. Best from 2016 through 2032. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 45,800 cases made."

91 Wine Enthusiast

"This selection offers balance and integrated aromas of spice, dark fruit, leather, tobacco, cola and rum cake. The wine shows power and heft both in terms of alcohol and consistency. Smoothly polished, fine tannins appear on the close."
