History: Castello Banfi was founded in 1978 by the Mariani family, Italian-Americans who had been involved in wine importing and distribution since 1919. Combining a respect for tradition and the environment with state of the art research and working practices they have helped to transform the region's wines and established Banfi's reputation in an impressively short period of time. They produce premium wines in Montalcino and beyond with a profound respect for the land and people from which they come.
Regional information: Montalcino is their principal estate and lies at the confluence of the Orcia and Ombrone rivers on the southern slopes of the township facing the Mediterranean. Here conditions are ideal with a variety of soils; structured clay and chalk for the reds and soils with stones and a high proportion of organic matter for their whites.
Vinification: Winemaking at Castello Banfi aims to fulfil the promise of the grapes and retain the character of the land. Traditional methods are combined with state of the art technology and innovation. White grapes are harvested by machine to ensure they can be brought in quickly. Fermentation takes place in Banfi's unique hybrid fermenters which combine the hygienic properties of steel with the natural oxygenation and character imparted by wood.
