Banfi, Centine Rose IGT

This one is made from the local Sangiovese grapes mixed with the more main stream Merlot. Centine, (pronounced Chen-tee-nay) gets its name from the archways of older Italian buildings symbolising the gateway into the wines of Banfi.

The picture on the label is the winding driveway to the Banfi owners country estate. Looking at this while drinking this wine really does make you want to go travelling to this part of the world. Fresh and quite lively this wine goes best on a hot day while snacking on olives, nuts or charcuterie. 

Pale pink in colour, it has full-bodied notes of red fruits typical of Sangiovese such as cherry and raspberry on the nose, while it releases hints of plum and a pleasant spiciness thanks to the Merlot.
