Banfi Deinos Bolgheri Rosso Superiore DOC 2022

Banfi ventures to Bolgheri — and arrives in style.

Bolgheri is the birthplace of Italy's Super Tuscans, a coastal strip of Tuscany where Cabernet, Merlot, and Syrah thrive in the warm Mediterranean climate. Banfi's 'Deinos' — named for the Greek word for "awe-inspiring" — is their most ambitious expression from this legendary appellation, and the 2022 vintage shows exactly why the name fits.

Tasting Notes
Complex and inviting on the nose, with hints of small red fruits — cherry, raspberry, and redcurrant — accompanied by notes of tobacco and licorice that add depth and intrigue. On the palate it's smooth and polished, with sweet, elegant tannins that carry the fruit beautifully without any roughness.

The Finish
Balanced and persistent, with great aging potential — this is a wine that will continue to open and reward over the next decade.

What the Critics Say
