Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Vigna Marrucheto 2019 Banfi

Banfi's Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Marrucheto is produced with Sangiovese grapes from three parcels of the Marrucheto vineyard, planted in 2009. The area is characterized by marine deposits with well-rounded coarse pebbles, immersed in a yellowish sandy matrix. There are also well-defined areas with clayey sands.

The vinification takes place in combined steel and French oak vats at a controlled temperature. The wine ages for at least 30 months in French oak barrels, developing aromatic complexity and a solid structure. The result is a Brunello rich in character and depth.

Intense ruby red in color, it has a powerful and fresh bouquet on the nose, with notes of red fruits such as blackberry and ripe cherry, enriched by Mediterranean hints of carob, figs and spices such as white pepper and bay leaves. On the palate it is full, with silky tannins and a harmonious and balanced finish.

This red wine pairs well with complex and structured dishes, enriched with fine ingredients, and is also ideal as a meditation wine.
