Description
What type of wine it is
Banfi Centine Toscana Rosso produced by Banfi is a red wine with a Typical Geographical Indication from Tuscany with a full and enveloping profile. It comes from a careful blend of grape varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. On the nose, it offers a fresh and fruity bouquet, dominated by aromas of blackberry and ripe cherry, well-integrated with floral nuances and spicy hints of vanilla, tobacco and liquorice. Fermented in steel and aged in oak barrels, on the palate it expresses a round and elegant structure, maintaining a balanced sip that leads to a broad and persistent finish.
Where it comes from
This authentic expression of the Tuscany region is born on the Banfi estate in Montalcino. The character of the wine reflects the style of the Centine line, capable of combining the local character of Sangiovese with the international scope of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. This combination gives life to a smooth and immediate drinkability, designed to enhance the flavours of its land of origin.
How it is produced
The winemaking process begins with a short maceration, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats. Subsequently, the wine is aged for a short period in French oak barrels, an essential step that supports the spicy notes and roundness without weighing down the fruity profile. The final result boasts an intense ruby-red colour with mauve reflections, giving the palate a gentle and harmonious attack.
