James Suckling 92Points
Dark-fruited and chocolaty character here with crushed walnuts, dried leaves, licorice and hints of moss. Medium- to full-bodied, polished and silky with rather supple but velvety tannins. Juicy and attractive fruit. Firm and spicy at the end. Sustainable.
Wine Spectator 91Points
A ripe style, this balances black currant and plum fruit with balsamic elements of Tuscan scrub, wild herbs and loam. Balanced, with solid grip on the finish. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Drink now through 2029. 2,900 cases made, 450 cases imported.
Winemaker Notes
The Castello Banfi Summus boasts a deep ruby color with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and hints of vanilla and spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a rich, velvety texture and flavors of dark fruit, leather, and a touch of smokiness.
Long aging wine that perfectly pairs with rich and savory first courses and meat dishes.
