Castello Banfi Description
Experience the perfect blend of tradition and innovation with the Castello Banfi Centine. This beautifully crafted wine is a testament to the Tuscan tradition, with a blend of Sangiovese, the pride of Italy, and the globally revered Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Adorned with an intense mauve-red hue, this wine boasts an enticing ruby red complexion. The bouquet is an aromatic symphony of dark fruits with subtle floral undertones, delivering an olfactory experience that is as complex as it is captivating. Medium-bodied and well-structured, the palate is treated to a dance of black cherry and plum flavors, elegantly intertwined with alluring hints of spice.
The sweet, fruity aromas of the Banfi Centine are beautifully complemented by gentle notes of vanilla, culminating in an elegant wine. The wine's fullness and softness are perfectly balanced by a judicious acidity, creating a harmonious blend that titillates the senses. The finish is pleasingly persistent, leaving a sophisticated, lingering taste on the palate.
This Tuscan marvel is produced through careful fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, maintaining a steady 25-30°C. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged for a brief period in French oak barrique, enhancing its depth of flavor and adding to its distinct character.
Banfi Centine is a particularly versatile wine. It pairs excellently with savory first courses and meat main courses, bringing out the flavors of your meal while providing a delightful accompaniment. This easy-to-drink wine is also perfectly suited to more informal occasions, such as aperitifs. For an ideal pairing, consider serving it alongside a wide range of dishes, from hearty roasts and game to comforting pastas and cheese.
