2022 ''Magna Cum Laude' Toscana IGT, Banfi

Tuscany, Italy

Magna Cum Laude, Latin for “with high honours,” combines Montalcino’s historic Sangiovese Brunello clone with international grape varieties of Cabernet, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Magna Cum Laude flanks two other Castello Banfi proprietary cuvées bearing Latin names, Summus, “the highest,” and Excelsus, meaning “eminent.”

On the nose, the scent is characterised by hints of red fruits with intense cherry tones, accompanied by spicy notes of liquorice and pepper. Broad structure, with sweet and powerful tannins, very balanced with a persistent finish.

Whats in the bottle
Cabernet Sauvignon 55%, Cabernet Franc 27%, Merlot 18%

Founded in 1978 by the vision of Italian-American brothers John and Harry Mariani, Banfi represents a marriage of winemaking passion and technological innovation. Through collaboration with Ezio Rivella, one of Italy’s most eminent winemakers, the land purchased in Montalcino was transformed into a crucible of quality and potential. The acquisition of the historic Piedmontese winery Bruzzone subsequently further enriched the portfolio, integrating the wine tradition of Piedmont into the Banfi world. Banfi has obtained the Equalitas certification both at the organisational and product levels. ‘We see a global and connected world, where differences are prosperity. The products of our land, to be defended and enhanced, are the best expression of human labour and ingenuity’. ‘Always pioneers, we value research and people, respecting the territories in which we work. For a better wine world.’ Cristina Mariani-May – third family generation and CEO of Banfi.

Each variety is fermented separately in temperature-controlled (24-28°C) Horizon hybrid French oak and stainless-steel tanks followed by 18 months ageing in French 350l. oak barrels (20% new, 80% 5 years old maximum).
