  2023 Centine Rose, Banfi

  £1595

  Centine, pronounced CHEN tee nay, takes its name from a 19th century farmhouse on the Castello Banfi vineyard estate and represents the gateway to Banfi wines. This entryway is depicted on the label with the winding road, lined by Cyprus trees leading up to the 12th Century Castello.

  A wine with pale pink hues with delicate violet overtones. Pronounced cherry notes blend elegantly with hints of small red fruits typical of Sangiovese. In the mouth, the Merlot expresses itself with volume and smoothness. Great balance and a long, savoury finish.

  2022 Centine Rosso, Banfi

  £1695

  Centine, pronounced CHEN tee nay, takes its name from a 19th century farmhouse on the Castello Banfi vineyard estate and represents the gateway to Banfi wines. This entryway is depicted on the label with the winding road, lined by Cyprus trees leading up to the 12th Century Castello.

  In the glass it is a bright red colour with mauve highlights. The nose is fresh, sweet and fruity with aromas of blackberry and ripe cherry that are accompanied by delicate spicy notes of cocoa, tobacco and liquorice. An elegant, balanced wine with a full, round structure balanced by great softness, enveloping, with a long lingering finish.

  2022 Mongrana, Querciabella

  £2395

  Mongrana is the quintessential expression of the colours, sights and sounds of the Maremma region: fruity and intense, fresh and embracing, the wine takes its name – and its character – from that of the noble family of knights depicted by the Italian Renaissance poet Ludovico Ariosto in his epic masterpiece Orlando Furioso.

  The charm of Mongrana does not take long to reveal. Well-defined aromas of ripe fruit, morello cherry, blackberry and blueberry jump out of the glass, anticipating a complex bouquet of kirsch, ivy, and pine needles, enriched by a touch of liquorice.

  On the palate, it offers a juicy, fresh sip with soft tannins. The long finale is savoury, with a mineral note that persists in the mouth.

  2021 Ripa Delle More IGT, Castello Vicchiomaggio

  £3395

  A stylish red showing an abundance of ripe plummy and blueberry fruit, enhanced by hints of herbs and a delicate touch of mint. Layers of dark chocolate, vanilla and juniper.  Rich, soft and opulent tannins lead to a long, intense finish. Sophisticated Tuscan at its best.

  Ripa delle More was created in 1980 as an innovation, breaking the rules of the time. Then it changed year after year to become a blend of traditional Sangiovese (50%) with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

  The grapes are carefully selected from the Ripa delle More vineyard, which is situated at an altitude of 255 to 265 metres above sea-level. The sustainably cultivated vines exceed 20 years in age and are pruned according to the single Guyot method to ensure low yields of approximately 42 hectolitres per hectare. The soil in this vineyard is ‘Galestro’, a rocky, schistous clay soil commonly found in most of Tuscany’s best vineyards, with 30% heavy clay.
