Banfi
Banfi Castle –
Tuscany from the foot of Monte Amiata
Castello Banfi lies in the heart of Tuscany, south of Siena, at the foot of Monte Amiata – one of the largest contiguous vineyards in the Montalcino region. Since the 1970s, when the Italian-American Mariani family established the estate, Banfi has played a crucial role in making Brunello di Montalcino internationally renowned. Today, the estate cultivates approximately 850 hectares of vineyards, the majority of which are planted with Sangiovese Grosso – the grape variety used to produce Brunello.
In the cellar, Banfi employs precise temperature control and extended maceration, without overpowering the terroir's character. The Brunello vintages mature for several years in oak barrels and bottles before leaving the estate. Alongside these, they produce elegant red wines from international varieties – including Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot – that embody the Super Tuscan style: structured, dark-fruited, with a long finish.
Those who drink Banfi's wines experience Tuscany in its mature, serious form: not light summer wines, but bottles that go well with game dishes, aged Pecorino cheese, or a long evening at the table.
