Interesting facts

Col di Sasso is a pair of red wine "Le Rome" in the main line of the company Castello Banfi. Young, bright and easy-drinking wine. The name translated from Italian means "Stone Hill" and this is no accident because it is made from a mixture of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, grown in the rocky and impassable areas of the estate Banfi in Montalcino. The grapes are harvested in late September. Maceration and fermentation is carried out no longer than 5-6 days in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature 24-25°C. This enables to obtain a good color and keep the flavor of the wine, while not burdening the excess tannins.Winery Castello Banfi has its origins in 1978, when the successful American (of Italian origin) entrepreneurs John and Harry Mariani, together with Ezio Rivella, which is an Italian oenologist, bought vineyards in the southern part of Tuscany. The official name of the company came a few years later, when they acquired the castle of Banfi Castello di Poggio alle Mura. Today, Castello Banfi is a thriving family business, which is recognized throughout the world for the highest quality products. The total vineyard area is over 800 hectares. Factory Castello Banfi is the first in the world, which is recognized as absolutely correct from an ethical, social and, most importantly, the ecological point of view.
