Description
Castello Banfi Excelsus SuperTuscan (Toscana IGT)
ExcelsuS, Latin for “eminent,” is produced only in excellent vintages. This Bordeaux blend shines with Tuscan character.
Made up of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, both varietals are vinified separately in French oak barriques. They are then blended and aged as a cuvée for an additional 8 to 10 months. Bottle-aging follows for at least 6 months.
