Winemaker Notes
Banfi Col di Sasso is a ruby red color. The wine has an intense, fresh and fruity bouquet defined by hints of currant, plum and wild strawberry. Soft structure in the mouth with sweet tannins and supported by good acidity; lingering and pleasant finish.
A wine suitable for any occasion, it perfectly pairs with meat-based dish and seasoned cheese.

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.
