Castello Banfi Chianti DOCG

A classic Chianti that brings the strengths of Tuscany directly to the glass: Sangiovese fruit, lively acidity and a dry, clean finish.

Castello Banfi is one of the most renowned wineries in Tuscany. Located in the heart of Montalcino, the estate cultivates approximately 850 hectares, including vineyards for this Chianti DOCG. The winery is known for its reliable, modern interpretation of Tuscan grape varieties, focusing on approachability without sacrificing substance.

In the glass, the wine displays aromas of sour cherry and plum, along with a hint of dried herbs and a subtle earthy note in the background. The tannins are present but not harsh—typical of a young Sangiovese with excellent drinkability. The acidity ties everything together and makes the wine particularly lively at the table.
