Description

The Toscana Rosso Excelsus di Banfi is born in vineyards located between the Orcia and Ombrone rivers, in the southern slope of the municipality of Montalcino, a territory unique in the world for its tradition and wine culture.

It is produced 60% with Merlot grapes and 40% with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The grapes of the two varieties vinify partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in barriques at controlled temperature for about 18 days. Subsequently the wine ages in barriques at a controlled temperature of 15 ° C for about 20 months, and for a further 8 months in bottle.

The Excelsus is characterized by an intense ruby red color, with garnet hues. The nose opens with a rich and broad bouquet, with hints of red fruits, enriched with pleasant spicy notes. On the palate it is full and round, with an elegant structure of rare concentration.

Perfect to accompany red meats, it is ideal in combination with aged cheeses.
