Castello Banfi
Brunello di Montalcino
2016 · Red · Toscana · Italy
Banfi’s 2016 Brunello is Sangiovese after 20 years of clonal tweaking: bright cherry and spice now, with the structure to carry it deep into the 2030s.
Food Pairing
Chargrilled striploin steak
Classic cheeseburger · Beef birria
The wine’s full body, bright acidity and ample tannin suit rich, protein‑driven dishes such as grilled or braised red meats and game, while its savory notes of tobacco and spice echo flavors in roasted herbs, cured meats and aged cheeses; salt and fat help to soften the structure and let the fruit shine.
