Known for producing iconic wines, Banfi has masterfully created a wine that exemplifies the essence of the Tuscan terroir while reflecting the classic characteristics of a Super Tuscan.

This red wine is a perfect marriage of intense fruit aromas and elegant complexity. The bouquet is rich with the vibrant notes of ripe blackberries and cherries, which are seamlessly intertwined with subtle hints of jam, spices, coffee, and tobacco. The fruit-forward profile is balanced with underlying earthy and savoury elements, adding depth and sophistication to each sip.

This wine is a tribute to Banfi’s pioneering spirit, as it was the first-ever Supertuscan wine produced in the Montalcino region back in 1985. The legacy continues with this remarkable 2020 vintage, which highlights the outstanding quality and character of the region's wines.
