BAN BEL
Belnero is a contemporary classic capturing the unique character of MontalcinoÂÂÂÂÂÂs renowned Sangiovese in an unfiltered cuvée of extraordinary clones selected after 30 years of pioneering research. This wine reflects our respect for tradition and our passion for innovation; a wine that epitomizes Castello Banfi's pursuit of excellence and our dedication to a Finer Wine World.
We called this wine Belnero for its dark beauty, deep ruby color, and rich fruit flavors.
Predominantly Sangiovese with a small amount of other noble varieties, these select clusters of estate-grown grapes are gently crushed then fermented in patented temperature controlled French oak/stainless steel tanks.
Aging follows for 2 years in classic barriques. Belnero offers appealing violet and cherry nuances with subtle hints of cedar and licorice. Our pursuit of excellence culminates in Belnero.
Enjoy Belnero with roasted or grilled red meats, rich braised dishes,or aged cheeses.
