No winery in Tuscany’s Chianti Classico district is delivering more bang for the buck than Banfi. The 2011 Riserva offers the classic aroma of black cherry, with an inviting floral note and firm acidity that gives it the backbone to tackle savory Tuscan meat and pasta dishes. Banfi is best known for its fine Brunello from Montalcino, but in recent years has ventured quite successfully into the world of top-notch Chianti. Platinum award winner at the 2015 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
