Aromas of vanilla, toffee and deep fruit first greet you then you get a hint of cocoa and plum. On the first sip it was a little shy, but once it opened up the flavors became more pronounced with plum, cherry, tobacco and leather.   Tasting Notes: This wine celebrates the experience, the passion and the 30 years commitment to quality that Banfi has incessantly been dedicated to in its constant pursuit of excellence, in the vineyard as well as in the winery. Belnero is produced mainly with Sangiovese, the emblematic grape of Montalcino tradition, blended from time to time with International varieties. Belnero,with its powerful and well balanced structure, is ideal for a long ageing. Food Matches:Pasta / Game / Risottos / Venison
