Kit Banfi (3bt)

The Banfi three-bottle box presents a varied assortment of wines from one of Italy's most important wineries in terms of volume and quality. Banfi's historic home is the territory of Montalcino, in particular the Castello di Poggio alle Mura, located at the southern end of the denomination. Over the course of time, this renowned winery has since undertaken several parallel projects in other areas of Tuscany, such as Bolgheri and Chianti Classico, and even in Piedmont, demonstrating the winery's innovative vision.

Included in the Banfi Box are three different bottles produced by Banfi: a bottle of Bolgheri Rosso 'Aska', a bottle of Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 'Fonte alla Selva' and a bottle of Rosso di Montalcino 'Poggio alle Mura', all enclosed in a fine Banfi-branded wooden case. These three labels reflect the house style, a style of innovation and pleasantness. In particular, the Bolgheri Rosso 'Aska' comes from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, varieties cultivated in the Bolgheri area. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel while ageing of approximately 10 months takes place in French oak barriques, resulting in a fruity and spicy wine of exquisite elegance. In contrast, the Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 'Fonte alla Selva' originates from a solid base of Sangiovese grapes combined with other complementary varieties. Here too, the maturation phase takes place in French oak barrels, a step that contributes to the aromatic complexity of this Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. Finally, the Rosso di Montalcino 'Poggio alle Mura' is made from only Sangiovese Grosso grapes grown in the Montalcino district. In this case, a combination of large and small barrels, all made of French oak, is used during the 12-month ageing period. The result is a deep but fresh red, a meeting point between innovation and tradition.

The Banfi three-bottle box is the perfect box to give or treat yourself to a taste of oenological Tuscany as interpreted by the historic Banfi winery.
