Newport Wine-Building a Montalcino Super Tuscan-The Making of a Masterpiece at the Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival

Enjoy a unique tasting of varietal component to understand how they harmonize in the Montalcino Super Tuscan cuvees Cum Laude, SummuS and ExcelsuS from the Castello Banfi Vineyard Estate in Montalcino. Experience a rare, first-hand look at the result of three decades of research and study by Castello Banfi together with the universities of Milan and Pisa, including clonal development of the Sangiovese grape, perhaps best known for the region's Brunello wine but a key component in the mirror "Sant'Antimo DOC" denomination.
