Winemaker Notes
Banfi Magna Cum Laude has an intense mauve color. On the nose, red fruits, cherry, and small fruits emerge, accompanied by well-balanced spicy notes of licorice and pepper. In the mouth, the structure is broad, with sweet and powerful tannins balanced with a persistent finish. The wine has great aging potential.
Perfect pairing with soups, as well as red and white meats.

This classic from Banfi has notes of blackberry compote, cherry granita, along with a dried boquet of roses and stems. The wine tastes of fresh blackberries, light tobacco, and earthy cremini mushroom. Soft tannins and its vivid acidity give this wine fine potential.
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.
