WINE DESCRIPTION

Banfi Col di Sasso is a red wine blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese grapes produced by Banfi in Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made from grapes grown in the vineyards located on the rocky strewn slopes of the Maremma region, which is known for producing juicy, earlier drinking styles of wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in older oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity without sacrificing the sappy, juicy fruit. The resulting wine is a harmonious blend of the two grape varieties, with notes of black Cabernet Fruit supported by bright Sangiovese acidity. Banfi Col di Sasso is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, making it a popular choice among wine enthusiasts.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Col di Sasso is blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese.On sight, this wine looks like Cabernet Sauvignon with its deep, dark color. The nose has dark plum notes of Cabernet Sauvignon and the sour cherry fruit of Sangiovese. The palate is medium-bodied with a generous density of fruit, grainy tannins, and refreshing acidity. The finish is moderate with subtle baking spice notes. With brilliant, food-friendly acidity and generous fruit, this wine will offer rewarding drinking with comfort-food classics such as lasagne for the next 4 years.
