Reviews and Ratings

Banfi Stilnovo Governo All'uso Toscano 2016 is a great value Sangiovese from the Tuscany wine region. The 2016 vintage saw 70% of the grapes, harvested by the second half of September, then fermented in stainless steel tanks (18 – 28 C°) for two to three weeks. The remaining 30% of the grapes stay drying on the vine until the second half of October, then added to the wine which will give a second fermentation for three to four weeks with 20% of the resulting wine is aged in third-use oak barrels. From the winemaker: "The Governo all'Uso Toscano by Banfi, is a new way to define the wine. An ancient technique based on the re-fermentation of the wine with partially dried grapes, that creates a dynamic and fresh wine characterized by a unique style." Pair this great food wine with a roast leg of lamb. - Community Wine Reviews
