An intense, elegant, and balanced Brunello. Ruby red with slight garnet reflections. On the nose, it stands out for its sweet and fruity aroma with hints of currant and blackberry, perfectly balanced with notes of licorice and pipe tobacco. Soft, polished tannins are well-integrated with a pronounced acidity that gives this Brunello a lively and powerful
structure. A wine with excellent persistence and great aging potential. It pairs particularly well with rich and tasty dishes. Perfect as a meditation wine.
93 James Suckling Youthful profile here with almost vinous character. Abundant violets and roses on the nose, together with cherries and pomegranates. Fruity again on the medium- to full-bodied palate with firm, velvety tannins, a lot of freshness and good length. Plenty of substance and alcohol. It will need time to integrate. Best after 2026.
93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The Castello Banfi 2020 Brunello di Montalcino opens to a velvety character that includes the softness and generosity of a warm and dry vintage. The bouquet is redolent of cherry, blackcurrant, grilled herb and sweet rose. This Brunello is open-knit and accessible. It has sweet tannins on the close.
92 Jeb Dunnuck The 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is a bright red/ruby color and is pretty on the nose with aromas of baked strawberries, sweet spices, dusty earth, and hints of lavender. Medium-bodied and weightless on the palate, with fine, dusty tannins, an elegantly fruity feel, it's a charming, approachable Brunello that retains good freshness and finesse.
92 Wine Spectator Aromas and flavors of graphite, cherry, blackberry, pomegranate and wet earth highlight this energetic, powerful red. Vibrant and focused, with a long aftertaste embedded in its muscular tannins. Best from 2029 through 2045.
