{"product_id":"castello-banfi-rosso-di-montalcino","title":"Castello Banfi Rosso di Montalcino","description":"\u003cp\u003eCastello Banfi\u0026#39;s Rosso di Montalcino is the accessible entry into the world of Sangiovese Grosso wines from Montalcino — with the character of a big brother, but without the long wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Castello Banfi is one of Tuscany\u0026#39;s most influential wineries. Since the 1970s, the American-Italian Mariani family has developed the estate around the medieval castle near Sant\u0026#39;Angelo Scalo. Today, Banfi cultivates approximately 850 hectares, 700 of which are vineyards on the galestro and clay-rich soils southwest of Montalcino. The Rosso is the younger counterpart to Brunello: same grape variety, shorter aging period, more immediate drinking pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, it displays aromas of ripe cherry and plum, underpinned by a hint of violet and earth. On the palate, it presents itself with a medium body, well-integrated tannins, and a lively acidity—the foundation that distinguishes Sangiovese from Montalcino. The finish is pleasantly long with a spicy, slightly mineral note. The gold medal at the 2025 Berlin Wine Trophy (2023 vintage) underscores its quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eServing suggestion:\u003c\/b\u003e Serve at 16–18 °C. Pairs well with Bistecca alla Fiorentina, venison ragù, or mature Pecorino cheese. Ready to drink now, will keep easily until 2028.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banfi","offers":[{"title":"2023","offer_id":52694992453968,"sku":"V06477","price":14.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"2024","offer_id":53093135319376,"sku":"V06477-2024","price":14.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/castello-banfi-rosso-di-montalcino-2x.webp?v=1783529582","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/castello-banfi-rosso-di-montalcino","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
