Castello Banfi
Around Montalcino in Toscana, Castello Banfi embodies a rare blend of scale and exacting craft: broad estate holdings, yet organised into mapped zones and clone selections so each parcel can keep its own voice.
Work starts in the vineyard with strict hand selection and clearly defined quality tiers. In the cellar, temperature‑controlled fermentations and gentle extraction meet a philosophy of long development—time on fine lees, disciplined oxygen management and lot‑by‑lot decision making.
Ageing is handled as a toolkit: large Slavonian oak casks (botte) for line and stability, plus barrique where texture and structure are needed. Sustainability programmes and a research‑driven mindset sit behind the scenes, guiding everything from canopy work to bottling choices. The result is an estate identity built for consistency, precision and longevity.Castello Banfi
