Winemaker Notes
Luscious berry and ripe cherry on the nose. Hints of vanilla and fresh herbs on the palate. Soft tannins and great acidity balance out this enticing red.
Particularly versatile, easy drinking Centine Rosso marries with everthing! Delicious with pasta, grilled and roasted meats, burgers, barbecue and even spicy seafood dishes!

Decanter
From hillside sites in southern Tuscany, this entry-level blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet and Merlot has a typical nose of bright red fruits, joined in the mouth by some darker notes of black cherry, blackberry, and hints of herbs and cassis. A straightforward but identifiably Tuscan red that provides a good introduction to Banfi's range of red wines.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
