A wine of presence and precision, the 2020 Summus radiates quiet power. Deep ruby in the glass, it unfolds with layers of blackberry, plum, and dark cherry wrapped in cocoa, tobacco, and sweet spice. The palate is beautifully composed, dense yet lifted with velvety tannins and a fine mineral thread that carries through to a long, resonant finish. Every sip feels sculpted, confident, and utterly seamless, balancing richness with the effortless grace of Banfi’s signature style.

For when: dinner turns into the best conversation of the week.
Pairs with: bistecca alla Fiorentina, roast lamb, or truffle risotto.
If this wine were a person, it’d be the architect, bold vision, flawless detail.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Sangiovese, Summus represents the pinnacle of Banfi’s research and craftsmanship in Montalcino. The fruit is hand-harvested from hillside vineyards within the estate’s mosaic of soils and elevations, expressing both structure and fragrance. Each variety is vinified separately, then aged for around 18 months in French oak before final blending. The result is an elegant synthesis of Tuscany’s warmth and international polish, a wine that celebrates Banfi’s mastery of both innovation and terroir.
