Castello Banfi Rosso di Montalcino

Heilt OK

Really enjoy the rosso. Awesome expression of a young Sangiovese medium body with a ton of red fruits

Drakk den til spekemat. Ok. Lukter kjemisk, ikke bra. Bark, blod.

Drakk den til bolognese. Var litt spiss til å begynne med. Kom seg med temp. Blod og bark kvisk mørke bær, litt alkoholsterk. oak leather tobacco

Light nose, a touch of red cherry a touch of spice but not giving much away. Polished red fruited wine. Tasted quite light and very youthful. Some tannin. Needs to develop some fullness. At this point a bit underwhelming.

Youthful but ready to drink in the coming years. Balanced but not as fruit forward to me as some seem to have experienced it (the wood must be hiding some of the fruit even if the oak influence appeared well integrated on my palate). Good wine, well made, but nothing special, and overall rather ordinary. In my view not worth the asking price (> 20 eur for a bottle here in Italy) and yet another example of why paying extra …

This 2022 Rosso, just released, is real young, and bottle just opened when we tasted. The color is not very dark red. It’s dry and tannic on the palate. The precise red cherry shows its potential.

Mid red. Typical nose with red to sour cherry and gentle spice. Fairly fruit forward which carries through in the mouth, followed by a fuzzy after wall of tannins. Enjoyable.

Brief notes. Had at a party for family Light garnet color with some clearing Red cherry, oak and leather. Strong but integrated tannin, moderate + finish Was well liked by the whole group
