About this bottle
Excelsus is Castello Banfi's Super Tuscan, a Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend grown and vinified separately before coming together as a cuvée. Each variety ages 12 to 14 months in French oak barriques on its own, then spends another 8 to 10 months blended before at least six months resting in bottle, all left unfiltered. The result is a powerful, full-bodied red with a bouquet of cassis, ripe dark fruit, licorice, and tobacco, and a palate built to age. At 15% ABV, this 2016 vintage is a structured, age-worthy Tuscan red rather than an easy weeknight pour.
How to drink Excelsus
Decant it for an hour before serving, around 64°F, to let the tannins settle. It's made for red meat and aged cheese, and it'll keep improving in the cellar for years yet.
