2022 Centine Rosso, Banfi
Tuscany, Italy
Centine, pronounced CHEN tee nay, takes its name from a 19th century farmhouse on the Castello Banfi vineyard estate and represents the gateway to Banfi wines. This entryway is depicted on the label with the winding road, lined by Cyprus trees leading up to the 12th Century Castello.
In the glass it is a bright red colour with mauve highlights. The nose is fresh, sweet and fruity with aromas of blackberry and ripe cherry that are accompanied by delicate spicy notes of cocoa, tobacco and liquorice. An elegant, balanced wine with a full, round structure balanced by great softness, enveloping, with a long lingering finish.

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.
Fermentation in temperature-controlled (25-30°C) stainless steel tanks followed by 8 months ageing in 350 l. French oak barrels (30% new).
