Banfi Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2022

Brunello's younger sibling — the gateway to Montalcino, ready to drink now.

Rosso di Montalcino is the appellation's open secret: crafted from the same Sangiovese Grosso as Brunello, from the same Banfi estate vineyards, but released earlier and aged with a lighter touch. The result is a wine that delivers the classic Montalcino character — mineral, cherry-driven, and food-friendly — without the patience required of its elder sibling.

Tasting Notes
Bright ruby red in the glass. Fresh, sweet aromas of blackberry and ripe cherry open the nose, with floral and spicy notes of vanilla, tobacco, and licorice adding depth. On the palate, the structure is ample and harmonious, with good acidity providing lift and a clean, food-friendly finish.

The Finish
Concentrated and balanced, with the classic Montalcino acidity that makes this wine as versatile at the table as it is satisfying on its own.

What the Critics Say

• Vinous: 90 points — praised for its classic Montalcino character and approachable, food-friendly style.
