The Banfi Brunello appears an intense ruby red in color with garnet reflections in the glass. Aromas of violets and vanilla, with hints of licorice. Velvety palate, with tart-cherry flavors and traces of spice. Well structured with supple tannins, superb concentration, and good acidity. Persistent finish.
Perfect with red meats, wild game and aged cheeses.
Wine Spectator Review:
A refined and generous Brunello, exhibiting plum, cherry, strawberry and even floral flavors. This strives for elegance, achieving it with harmony and a line of fine-grained tannins on the lingering finish. There's ample fruit midpalate that resonates on the mineral finish, showing fine definition. Best from 2026 through 2040. 66,500 cases made, 7,500 cases imported.
