Brunello di Montalcino 'Vigna Marrucheto' by Castello Banfi is obtained from three plots of the Marrucheto vineyard. 100% Sangiovese, it is an elegant and refined red. Great sensory complexity which is evident in the ripe fruity traits of red plums and white peaches. Full-bodied wine, vibrant and taut, with soft, well-polished tannins and a balanced and persistent finish. Excellent as an accompaniment to complex, aromatic and structured dishes. Ideal as a meditation wine.

Banfi was founded in 1978 thanks to the will of the Italian-American brothers, John and Harry Mariani.
From the beginning, the goal of the two brothers was to create a state-of-the-art winery combined with the most advanced science in the vineyards for the production of premium wines.
Together with the Mariani family, Ezio Rivella, one of Italy's
foremost enologists, who understood that due to the richness of the soils and the privileged microclimatic position, the property would have great capacity of development.
In those years, the brothers, John and Harry, also purchased Bruzzone, a historic winery in Piedmont. Founded in 1860 and specialized in the production of sparkling wines, today is known as Banfi Piemonte.
