Description
What kind of wine it is
Banfi Centine Toscana Rosso is a still wine with a well-defined personality, distinguished by its intense red colour with bright mauve highlights. Born from a harmonious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese grapes, it offers a fresh and distinctly fruity bouquet. Notes of blackberry and ripe cherry blend with delicate floral hints and spicy nuances of vanilla, tobacco and liquorice. On the palate, it is full and rounded, characterised by a pleasant softness that envelops the mouth in perfect balance, finishing with a broad finish.
Where it comes from
This red originates in the heart of the Montalcino area, bringing the authentic expression of its region of origin to the glass. Produced by Banfi, the wine represents the renowned area of Tuscany, confirming its strong connection to its territory. The careful selection of international grape varieties, combined with the character of Sangiovese, gives the product a clear stylistic imprint, designed to balance aromatic intensity with an elegant flavour profile. A meticulous production process that respectfully enhances the potential of the local vineyards.
How it is produced
The production process involves temperature-controlled fermentation in modern stainless steel vats, a technique that allows precise management of the aromatic extraction from the grapes. Afterwards, the wine rests for a period of maturation in French oak barrels. The passage in wood is essential to soften the structure and harmoniously develop the fruity notes with the spicy ones. The final result is a wine with a biological and sustainable profile, reflecting a commitment to quality.
