Castello Banfi, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG (Tuscany, Italy) 2013

May 29, 2018

By Robert Whitley

  Castello Banfi has long been a leader in quality in this special section of Tuscany.  Its influence has been felt throughout the district and it’s because of wines like this.  The 2013 Brunello exhibits exceptional structure, with uncommon depth and beautifully framed aromas of black cherry, tea leaf and spice.  A massive Brunello with firm acidity, it will continue to exhibit its greatness over the next 20 years or more.  A platinum award-winner at the 2018 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
