Banfi Centine Rosso (5L, 13.5%)

A Sangiovese-led Tuscan red blend from Castello Banfi, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a five-litre format. It blends Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with brief maceration, alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, and around two months in Slavonian oak casks. The nose shows ripe cherry, bramble, cocoa, tobacco leaf and licorice. The palate is medium-bodied, with black cherry, plum, boysenberry, warm spice and an earthy mineral undertone, supported by bright acidity and polished tannins. The finish is moderate, with dark berry and subtle baking spice.
