THE WINE

Chianti Classico 'Fonte alla Selva' by Banfi is made from Castellina, one of the most important historical areas of the Chianti Classico, where Banfi carefully selects the grapes coming exclusively from the 40 hectares of Fonte alla Selva vineyard. Prestigious red wine that shows typically Tuscan maturity, elegance and personality. An excellent expression of Chianti Classico, of good consistency and character that fully reflects Banfi's quality standard.

THE COMPANY

Banfi was founded in 1978 thanks to the will of the Italian-American brothers, John and Harry Mariani. From the beginning, the goal of the two brothers was to create a state-of-the-art winery combined with the most advanced science in the vineyards for the production of premium wines. Together with the Mariani family, Ezio Rivella, one of Italy's foremost enologists, who understood that due to the richness of the soils and the privileged microclimatic position, the property would have great capacity of development. In those years, the brothers, John and Harry, also purchased Bruzzone, a historic winery in Piedmont. Founded in 1860 and specialized in the production of sparkling wines, today is known as Banfi Piemonte.
