2017 Banfi - Brunello di Montalcino - 3 Bottles (0.75L)

Imagine two American brothers, John and Harry Mariani, who, after inheriting one of the most prestigious wine import companies in the United States, Banfi Vintners, founded by their father in New York in 1919, decide to fulfill the dream of becoming winemakers in one of the most fascinating (and then untapped) regions of Tuscany, Montalcino. They do it imagining a revolutionary company, starting from a blank page. Fueled by a visionary spirit, as testified by John’s words on the day of the cellar’s opening when he stated he wanted to “create a good for Italy, a good for America, and a good for all who love quality wines.” With these premises, Banfi was born in Montalcino in 1978. The tireless research, strong pioneering spirit, and sustainability, pillars of the company philosophy, have made Banfi a protagonist in the history of Montalcino. It is largely thanks to the contribution of this winery that Brunello gradually became a symbol and an icon of Montalcino and of Italian wine, first in America and then around the world. Today, at the helm of Banfi, to continue the family presence in the business, is the third generation led by Cristina Mariani. Banfi wines, which tell the passage of time in wooden casks, are produced with selected grapes and harvested exclusively from the estate’s specialized vineyards. Characterized by a strongly territory-bound soul and sustainability, they have always been acclaimed by the national and international critics. In this lot, three bottles of the noble Brunello di Montalcino 2017 are offered, the year in which the winery was awarded the “Cantina dell’Anno – Gran Vinitali” prize and numerous high scores from the major international wine critics, including: • Wine Spectator: 92 points (described as persistent and lively, with notes of strawberry, cherry, tobacco and wild herbs, ideal from 2025 to 2042). • James Suckling: 92 points (fresh and fruity, balanced despite the warm and dry vintage). • Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (Monica Larner): 92 points.
