Banfi

From Mariani brothers' dream to brunello icon

Founded in 1978 by the Italian-American brothers John and Harry Mariani, Banfi wineries now cover nearly 3,000 hectares stretching as far as the Val d'Orcia. Scientific research, cutting-edge technology and respect for the environment guide every stage of production: thus are born wines capable of telling the world about Montalcino, from the majestic brunello to the delicate Moscadello.

• Extent & terroir - vignae between 150 - 350 m a.s.l. on marl, alberese and tuff soils that give structure and longevity to the wines.
• Flagship wines - Brunello di montalcino DOCG, Rosso di Montalcino, Moscadello Vendemmia Tardiva.
• Main grape variety - pure Sangiovese, clonally selected to enhance the different hillside plots.
• Ongoing research - experimental micro-vinifications, temperature-controlled oak and steel fermenters to preserve fruit integrity.
• Sustainability - efficient water management, renewable energy and certified biodiversity projects.
• Awards - national and international AWARDS confirming Banfi as an ambassador of brunello around the world.
