Description
What kind of wine is it
Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Marrucheto by Banfi is a Tuscan red wine that expresses the purest essence of Sangiovese. To the eye, it presents a bright ruby red colour with garnet reflections. The bouquet is complex, characterised by notes of ripe red fruit such as cherry and plum, combined with white peach, violet, and sweet spices. On the palate, it shows a full and vibrant body, balanced by lovely freshness and silky tannins, with a persistent finish and balsamic touches.
Where does it come from
This oenological expression originates in Tuscany, in the municipality of Montalcino. The grapes come from three plots of the Marrucheto vineyard, located at the Castello di Poggio alle Mura. The viticulture follows a organic and sustainable approach, demonstrating the Mariani family's respect for the environment. This meticulous care allows for grapes of great concentration, capable of reflecting the identity and strength of Brunello di Montalcino.
How is it produced
The vinification is designed to enhance the structure of the grape variety through a prolonged ageing in barrels, followed by a long period of rest, essential to harmonise all the taste components. This slow evolution gives the wine remarkable longevity. At the table, it pairs excellently with red meats, game, roasts or mature cheeses, but it also reveals all its depth when enjoyed alone as a meditation wine.
History and Curiosities
Born at the historic Castello di Poggio alle Mura, the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Vigna Marrucheto by Banfi embodies the perfect synthesis of oenological passion and innovation. The result of three carefully selected plots cultivated with an organic and sustainable approach, the 2020 vintage offers an exceptional tasting experience, characterised by a full body and smooth tannins. Awarded top marks by critics, this refined Tuscan masterpiece guarantees a longevity of 10-15 years, making it ideal for your special occasions.
