THE WINE
Chianti Colli Senesi 'Traversa dei Monti' is the new wine signed by Banfi, a Chianti DOCG with a Montalcino soul. Totally produced with the traditional varieties of Chianti, with a strong predominance of Sangiovese, coming from the Montalcino vineyards of the estate, the heart of the traditional Chianti area, it boasts the Colli Senesi sub-area. The name of the wine, Traversa dei Monti, immediately leads us back to the road that connects Montalcino to the Maremma coast, also skirting the Banfi vineyards. Even the label is evocative of the place where the wine is born. The Traversa dei Monti, in gold foil, crosses the vineyards that give the perception of the earth to the touch, enhancing the brightness and richness of our territory. Elegant and decisive, the wine shows an intense and deep mauve red color, complex and intense aromas, aromas of ripe fruit and morello cherry accompanied by hints of dried flowers and spicy notes. Enveloping, soft and powerful, with a remarkable structure, it closes with a long and persistent finish.
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.
