This Banfi Brunello di Montalcino is a complex and inviting Italian red wine made from Sangiovese grapes grown in the Montalcino region of Tuscany. The wine has a deep, ruby-red color and an intense nose of dark fruits and spices. On the palate, flavors of blackberry, cherry, leather, tobacco, and spice mingle together for a balanced and full-bodied experience. The tannins are firm yet elegant, and the finish is long and lingering on the palate. This wine pairs perfectly with Italian dishes like risotto or pasta, roasted meats, and aged cheeses.
