Banfi 2016 is a full-bodied, vibrant Brunello Di Montalcino rich with ripe dark fruit, dark cherry, leather, savoury herb, spicy flavours and firm, structured tannins. A classic Brunello from the Tuscany wine region. Cellar for a couple more years for this beauty to begin to show its best. Try in 2023.

Brunello di Montalcino food pairings: grilled steak, roast leg of lamb, hard cheese, veal piccata.

Banfi 2016 Brunello Di Montalcino is rich with earthy florals, ripe dark fruit, dark cherry, piney, juniper and savoury herb flavours matched with firm tannins and brilliant acidity on the palate. Lots going on here and this Brunello beauty in the making could benefit from more time in cellar. Good now, better in 2023. - Community Wine Reviews
