Centine is red, pizza sauce is too, there’s no one else I’d rather spend #NationalPizzaDay with than you.
The "Superiore" designation signifies stricter government regulations requiring lower yields and great plant density in the vineyards, and slightly higher levels of alcohol and fruit extraction.
Stilnovo, meaning new style, is the result of the Governo all’Uso Toscano method, a 14th century Tuscan technique based on the re-fermentation of the wine with partially dried grapes. The result is a smooth and fresh wine that is characterized by its richness and full body.
Poggio alle Mura is the historical name of the 12th century fortress crowning the Banfi vineyard estate. Today the castle has been christened Castello Banfi. This wine is full and powerful with ripe and gentle tannins making it velvety and harmonious.
Rosa Regale is a soft sparkling wine made from the Brachetto grape. The cold maceration of the grapes, followed by a soft pressing, allows the extraction of the typical intense aromas from the skins and gives the wine its light ruby red color.
“Poggio all’Oro,” translated as “Golden Knoll,” is a single vineyard, 820 feet above sea level, particularly noted for its favorable microclimate, on the southern slopes of Montalcino. It is excellent with game, red meats, and aged cheeses.
