WINE DESCRIPTION

Banfi Collepino is a red wine that blends Merlot and Sangiovese grapes, produced by Banfi, a renowned winery in Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Collepino vineyard, which is located in the Montalcino appellation. The vineyard features a unique terroir, with a mix of clay and limestone soils, and a cool microclimate that allows for slow ripening of the grapes. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is medium-bodied, with a rich and complex flavor profile that combines the fruity notes of Merlot with the earthy and spicy notes of Sangiovese. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, making it a great choice for any occasion.
