Producer Information

Castello Banfi is quite special in all honesty. John and Harry Mariani, both from America, decided to purchase this 7,100 acre estate located in the Brunello region of Tuscany in 1978. They did so, and sparked a renaissance in Italian Wine making. Castello Banfi were the first winery to be internationally recognised for exceptional environmental, ethical and social responsibility. Particularly forward-thinking and modern - they have played an execeptional role in research on the Sangiovese vine, focusing on producing more consistent and excellent Brunello di Montalcino through to organic procedures. Castello Banfi have certainly played their part in helping to heighten the quality of Montalcino. Their signature wines are well worth a go - single vineyard Reserve Poggio all'Oro and unfiltered cru Poggio alle Mura Brunellos, as well as three proprietary cuvees, Excelsus, Summus and Cum Laude. Other singlevineyard bottlings include Tavernelle Cabernet Sauvignon, Colvecchio Syrah and San Angelo Pinot Grigio.
