Their welcome for our Irish customers is legendary by now! John Mariani, now in his eighties, has been a generous patron of the Shannon College of Hotel Management for very many years.

Tasting Notes

A classic of Castello Banfi, this Brunello di Montalcino is obtained with clones of Sangiovese selected after 20 years of research. Intense ruby red with garnet reflections. It has an ethereal bouquet. On the palate it is full, soft, velvety and intense, with notes of liquorice, black fruits and spices
