Lunch With Banfi


When the opportunity to lunch in Toronto with Cristina Mariani-May, the CO-CEO of renown, Tuscan producer Banfi, I couldn’t resist. Located in Montalcino, they create wonderful Brunello. We tasted numerous, phenomenal single vineyard wines (Sorrena, Podernuova, Poggio d’Orcia, Casanova) that really emphasized the different terroir. Their 2007 and 2001 regular bottlings of Brunello were, as always, delightful. The 2007 and rare 1998 Alle Mura showed amazingly well. The incredible 2007 Alle Mura Reserva shone like a star and the 2007 and 1995 Poggio All’Oro were brilliant. The ’95 was a particular treat. You simply can’t go wrong with Banfi. They epitomize great winemaking.
