Viniou Reviews
The wine in question is a 2016 Brunello di Montalcino from Castello Banfi, a renowned winery in the Italian region of Tuscany. Made predominantly from the Sangiovese grape, this Brunello di Montalcino is a true expression of the combination of grape, terroir, and the meticulous winemaking process typical of this appellation. The 2016 vintage is celebrated for its exceptional quality, benefitting from favourable weather conditions which allowed the grapes to achieve a perfect balance of ripeness and acidity. Brunello di Montalcino wines are typically aged for several years, both in oak casks and in the bottle, to develop their rich and complex profile.
Tuscany, located in central Italy, is celebrated for its rolling hills, meandering rivers, and historical vineyards. The region experiences a warm Mediterranean climate with a refreshing maritime influence, which is ideal for viticulture. The soil in this appellation is primarily composed of limestone, clay and marl, providing excellent drainage and contributing to the unique minerality of the wines. The history of winemaking in Tuscany stretches back centuries, rooted in tradition yet always aiming for innovation and quality, with Brunello di Montalcino earning a reputation as one of Italy's most prestigious wines.
For pairing, Brunello di Montalcino's robust structure and depth make it an excellent companion to hearty dishes. Traditional Tuscan fare such as wild boar ragù, Bistecca alla Fiorentina, or a rich mushroom risotto would complement the wine's complex flavours beautifully. The bold tannins and vibrant acidity also make it suitable for pairing with a well-aged Pecorino cheese.
To fully appreciate this wine, it is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 16-18°C. Decanting it an hour or two before serving will allow the wine to aerate and evolve, revealing its layered aromas and intricate flavours. This promises to bring out the best qualities of this prestigious Brunello di Montalcino.
