Tuscany Red IGT 'Excelsus' 2015 (750 ml.) Banfi
The Toscana Rosso 'Excelsus' by Banfi is produced only in great vintages. It is a Supertuscan that perfectly integrates the best tradition of merlot and cabernet sauvignon with the territory of Montalcino and with the tradition of Castello Banfi. An austere wine, of rare concentration and structure, whose maturation involves a passage in barrique for at least 20 months. The result is an intense wine that presents very fruity aromas accompanied by more complex notes of jam, spices, tobacco, and coffee. On the palate, it shows all its grandeur, with sweet tannins and very persistent flavors.

THE COMPANY
Banfi was founded in 1978 thanks to the will of the Italian-American brothers John and Harry Mariani. From the beginning, the two brothers envisioned a large-scale project, integrating quality viticulture with a modern winery with the aim of always maintaining a high qualitative level of the wines produced. Alongside the Mariani family, Ezio Rivella, one of the greatest Italian oenologists, who immediately believed that due to the richness of the soil and the privileged microclimatic position, the acquired territories would have great development potential. In those years, brothers John and Harry also acquired the historic Piedmontese winery Bruzzone, active since 1860 and specialized in the production of sparkling wines, to make it the Piedmontese brand of the group, today Banfi Piemonte.
