Summus 2000 Banfi

Wine description

Summus is an intense and deep Supertuscan that represents very well the potential of the three vines that compose it (Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Syrah). A wine characterized by a very intense aroma of ripe fruit and plum and cherry jam, accompanied by notes of vanilla, coffee and tobacco. Large, important and elegant structure.

Tasting Notes
