Banfi Magna Cum Laude has an intense mauve color. On the nose, red fruits, cherry, and small fruits emerge, accompanied by well-balanced spicy notes of licorice and pepper. In the mouth, the structure is broad, with sweet and powerful tannins balanced with a persistent finish. The wine has great aging potential.
Magna Cum Laude, Latin for “with high honors,” combines Montalcino’s historic Sangiovese Brunello clone with international grape varieties of Cabernet, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Magna Cum Laude flanks two other Castello Banfi proprietary cuvées bearing Latin names, SummuS “the highest,” and ExcelsuS, meaning “eminent.”
Perfect pairing with soups, as well as red and white meats.
