Banfi

2019 ‘Excelsus’ IGT, Banfi

Tuscany, ItalyVintage: 2019

Excelsus, Latin for “eminent,” is produced only in excellent vintages.

This highly rated Super Tuscan from the iconic Banfi estate is an intense and deep wine showing a rich and complex nose, with fruity hints of cherry and raspberries, accompanied by notes of aromatic herbs and toasted almonds. In the mouth, it is broad, and shows all its grandeur, with sweet tannins and a very persistent flavour.

Description

Founded in 1978 by the vision of Italian-American brothers John and Harry Mariani, Banfi represents a marriage of winemaking passion and technological innovation. Through collaboration with Ezio Rivella, one of Italy’s most eminent winemakers, the land purchased in Montalcino was transformed into a crucible of quality and potential. The acquisition of the historic Piedmontese winery Bruzzone subsequently further enriched the portfolio, integrating the wine tradition of Piedmont into the Banfi world. Banfi has obtained the Equalitas certification both at the organisational and product levels. ‘We see a global and connected world, where differences are prosperity. The products of our land, to be defended and enhanced, are the best expression of human labour and ingenuity’. ‘Always pioneers, we value research and people, respecting the territories in which we work. For a better wine world.’ Cristina Mariani-May – third family generation and CEO of Banfi.

The Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are vinified separately with a maceration of between 8 and 18 days. Alcoholic fermentation is followed by malolactic fermentation in barriques in temperature controlled areas. For the fi rst 12-14 months, the varieties age separately in French oak barriques. They are then blended and aged as a cuvée for an additional 8 to 10 months. Bottle-aging follows for at least 6 months. The wine is left unfi ltered to retain its subtle nuances of plum, black currant and cedar.
