A classic Banfi sparkling wine that perfectly expresses the freshness of three different grape varieties. The blend consists of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Blanc, each lending its own distinctive character to this wine. After a lengthy fermentation, we can savor this straw-yellow wine, with an intense aroma and a surprising roundness on the palate.

The innovative Banfi winery

The modern and innovative Banfi winery was founded around 1978 by brothers John and Harry Mariani. They began by growing grapes in Montalcino, but have since expanded to 2,830 hectares of vineyards on the edge of the Orcia Valley. The winery possesses state-of-the-art equipment for experimentation, and from 7,000 barrels, they produce the elegant and captivating wines that are synonymous with Montalcino worldwide. They are exceptionally ambitious, and thanks to their focus on both quantity and quality, their Banfi wines have become world-renowned. The estate is renowned for its clonal research, allowing noble grape varieties to flourish in their optimal terroir. The cellar houses 300 stainless steel tanks and some 2,000 barrique barrels and large Slovenian oak casks. The third generation is currently at the helm, combining unparalleled quality with their traditions.
