Description
Banfi ‘s Pinot Grigio “Sant’Angelo” 2024 is a wine that breaks the classic Pinot Grigio mold. Produced in Montalcino, it benefits from a decidedly warmer climate than its preferred areas in northern Italy, resulting in a richer, sunnier and more structured white.
Here is the description for the 2024 vintage:
Organoleptic Profile
-
Color: Faint straw yellow, very bright.
-
Nose: Intense and fragrant. It releases fresh notes of golden apple, white peach and citrus, enriched by a floral touch of jasmine and slightly exotic nuances (pineapple) typical of the Tuscan terroir.
-
Taste: The palate is pleasantly fresh and savory. The softness of the fruit is well balanced by a lively acidity that makes the drink agile and smooth, with a clean and persistent finish.
Technical Characteristics
-
Varietal: 100% Pinot Grigio.
-
Vinification: Temperature-controlled fermentation($13\text{–}16$ °C) in steel vats to preserve primary aromas and fruit freshness to the maximum.
-
Style: This is an “immediate” but not trivial wine that focuses on varietal purity and pleasantness, distinguished by a richer pulp than Alpine Pinot Grigios.
In summary
Sant’Angelo is the quintessential aperitif white, but with the stuff to accompany an entire summer meal. It is a modern classic from Banfi that combines international drinkability with the sunny character of Tuscany.
Ideal pairing: Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with seafood salads, sushi, cold white meats (such as veal tonnato) and light vegetable pasta dishes.
