Banfi’s “Excelsus” is an extremely limited release produced in only favorable vintages, an extraordinary wine made from 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 60% Merlot. Each varietal is macerated and fermented for 20-25 days; then aged separately in French oak barrique for one year. They are blended, and further matured in the bottle for an additional one to two years.
A densely colored, ruby-hued red with garnet tones, Excelsus offers an opulent bouquet that hints of plum, black currant and bell pepper. It complements red meats, game, rich-tasting dishes and full-flavored cheeses. Excelsus is stylish and well-structured with a remarkable concentration of fruit and tannin.

The 2004 vintage was particularly outstanding for this wine. At our deeply discounted price, you should jump on this.

Note: This is a pre-arrival offering. Our $54.99 price will only be honored on orders placed today.

Here’s another gem from Banfi that is in stock: VERY LIMITED! LAST CHANCE!!

Castello Banfi Belnero Reserve Supertuscan 2007

Regular Price : $44.99  Sale Price: $29.99  

Belnero is the expression of the solid and indissoluble connection of Banfi with Montalcino territory. This wine celebrates the experience, the passion and the 30 years commitment to quality that Banfi has incessantly been dedicated to in its constant pursuit of excellence, in the vineyard as well as in the winery. Belnero is produced mainly with Sangiovese, the emblematic grape of Montalcino tradition, blended from time to time with those International varieties which found, in our region, their most favorable habitat. Belnero, with its powerful and well balanced structure, is ideal for a long ageing.

“Deep red color, with mild garnet nuances. Very complex aroma on the nose, with spicy hints of tobacco and coffee, as well as fruity notes of blackberry jam. On the palate the structure is powerful, warm and soft, with a pleasant note of vanilla in the end. Enjoyable now yet endowed with great aging potential.” Winery
