The Cum Laude di Banfi is obtained from Cabernet Sauvignon (30%), Merlot (30%), Sangiovese (25%), and Syrah grapes grown at an altitude between 120 and 230 meters above sea level, within the Castello Banfi estate located in the prestigious territory of Montalcino, in the province of Siena. After the harvest, the grapes were vinified separately by varietal in stainless steel and Horizon wood tanks at a controlled temperature of 25-30°C. The aging took place for a short period of time in French oak barrels of 60 and 90 hectoliters for Sangiovese and in French oak barriques of 350 liters.

CUM LAUDE BANFI: TASTING

The Cum Laude di Banfi shows a ruby red color in the glass. On the nose, it reveals scents of sour cherry, plum, and ripe red fruits intertwined with evolved hints of tobacco, leather, and oriental spices. The palate is full-bodied and elegant, supported by a sweet tannic texture and a gentle fresh-sapidity that lingers in the finish. It pairs well with cured meats, aged cheeses, and flavorful land-based recipes with red meats or game.
