Banfi has been on a roll in recent vintages, producing exceptional wines at all price points. This Rosso di Montalcino is a perfect example. Go ahead and call it a "baby Brunello" if you like because it surely fits. This is a Rosso for the ages, firmly structured and powerful enough to pass for a much more expensive Brunello di Montalcino. It shows rich black cherry fruit and spice, firm tannins and impressive length. And it’s less than half the price of the Brunello. A Platinum award winner at the 2018 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
