Banfi Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018

The classic Brunello from Montalcino's most celebrated estate.

Banfi's Brunello di Montalcino is the wine that introduced this great appellation to the world. The 2018 vintage is a powerful, structured expression of Sangiovese Grosso — a year that produced wines of impressive concentration and depth, with the backbone to age beautifully for decades.

Tasting Notes
Intense and elegant — ruby red with light garnet-coloured nuances. The nose is distinguished by an intense and fruity bouquet with sweet notes of plums, sour cherries, and orange, alongside spicy hints of myrtle, juniper, and incense that add complexity and intrigue. On the palate it's full-bodied and powerful, with soft and smooth tannins well-integrated with a strong acidity that gives this wine its remarkable structure and longevity.

The Finish
Full-bodied and powerful, with a long, structured close that speaks to the aging potential of this exceptional vintage.
