Banfi Castle Ribs

Centine Castello Banfi is a wine produced in the region of Tuscany, more specifically in the area of Montalcino, famous for the production of high quality wines. This area is characterized by a Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and hot, dry summers, which is ideal for growing vines. From an agronomic point of view, the vineyards from which Castello Banfi Centine comes are situated on hills ranging from 180 to 450 meters above sea level, with southwest exposure. The soil is predominantly clay and limestone, with the presence of skeleton, characteristics that help give the wine its typical structure and complexity. The production of Centine Castello Banfi follows a precise and careful enological process. The grapes, harvested by hand, undergo fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature for about 7-10 days. This is followed by maceration on the skins for another 7-10 days to extract color and tannins. After fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for a period of 12 months. This process allows the wine to acquire additional flavors and round out the tannins. Next, the wine is bottled and left to age for an additional 6 months before being released for sale. Castello Banfi Centine is a wine that perfectly reflects the terroir from which it comes, thanks to the combination of climatic factors, soil characteristics and winemaking techniques used.
