WINE DESCRIPTION

Banfi Florus Moscadello di Montalcino Late Harvest is a historical "pearl" of Montalcino, crafted with precision by Banfi. This exquisite dessert wine, made from 100% Moscato, locally called Moscadello grapes, offers a perfect balance of aromatic expression and acidity. The vineyards, set in predominantly clayey and shallow soils with pebbles, are trellised using a spurred cordon system and have a vine density of 4200 vines per hectare with a low yield of 30 quintals per hectare. The grapes undergo natural drying on the vine, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled French oak barriques at 16°C and aging for 7 months in the same type of barrels. The result is a richly aromatic wine with a luscious, balanced palate, epitomizing the elegance and heritage of Montalcino winemaking.

Upon tasting, the Banfi Florus Moscadello di Montalcino Late Harvest reveals a rich and velvety texture, with flavors of honeyed stone fruits, such as peaches and nectarines.
