Excelsus

2007 Toscana Red Blend

Castello Banfi Excelsus is an exquisite red blend from the renowned Toscana region, showcasing the mastery of winemaking characteristic of this area. This vintage, released in 2007, presents a deep, inviting crimson color that captivates the eye. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied character supported by a high level of acidity that brings a refreshing brightness to the wine, even years after its release. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that enhances the wine's longevity and complexity. A prominent fruit intensity is evident, offering rich notes of ripe blackberries and cherries, complemented by subtle hints of spice and oak that add depth to the overall experience. As a dry wine, Excelsus is incredibly versatile, making it a perfect companion for a variety of culinary delights, from hearty pasta dishes to robust red meats. This wine not only embodies the essence of its Toscana roots but also represents a testament to the artisanal craftsmanship of Castello Banfi.
