Rosso di Montalcino – Castello Banfi 2009 – Wine

Rosso di Montalcino – Castello Banfi 2009

We were looking forward to trying this wine with a great dinner at home.  It’s an 100% Sangiovese from the world famous Montalcino area of Tuscany. The bottle cost $15.99.  It is definitely at the lower end of the price range for wine from this region, but we figured its worth a shot.

Unfortunately this wine just didn’t live up to our expectations.  It was pretty bland.   Im thinking if we aged it for a while we would probably get some different results.

Although this wine fell flat for us we are still looking to try many of the other wines from Banfi.  We have also heard great things about visiting the Banfi winery in Tuscany… sounds like a plan to me!

 

I feel bad doing this, but this wine gets the Mini Donkey rating
