Something new from Banfi, another single vineyard Brunello,
let the debate about Reserve vs Cru begin
Castello Banfi
2017 Brunello di Montalcino, Vigna Marrucheto
WRITTEN REVIEW
If at first you succeed, try and replicate what you did - not exactly the old saying, but this “new version” is exactly what should and did happen with Vigna Marucheto ... But this time with even better results. The nose is identical to the 2016 offering with its cherry, kirsch, dried cherry notes, but the palate is richer and fruitier, and the acidity hides behind some pretty robust tannins. This is a delightful version of a single vineyard wine and shows why they decided to make wine from this specific plot. (****+)
