From the storied Banfi winery in Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino 2008 showcases the estate`s dedication to Sangiovese, sourced from select clones within its expansive vineyards. This vintage, shaped by a cooler climate, yields a wine with elevated acidity and a nuanced red-fruit character. The careful ageing process combines French oak barriques and large Slavonian oak casks over two years, fostering a balance of modern finesse and traditional structure. The resulting profile includes notes of cherries, leather, and spice, reflecting the distinct character of the Montalcino terroir. Banfi, established in 1978, is acclaimed for its innovative approach and respect for the region`s heritage.

Banfi's 2008 Brunello di Montalcino wraps around the palate with black fruit, tobacco, smoke, licorice and new leather. An attractive mid-weight wine, the 2008 should drink nicely for at least a handful of years. The 2008 shows lovely density and richness for the year, with hints of smoke, licorice and tobacco that add complexity on the close. This is a fabulous effort considering a production level of around 500,000 bottles, a staggering sum by virtually any standard. Antonio Galloni1st September 2013
