Florus Moscadello di Montalcino DOC – Castello Banfi – 2018 – 50cl

The wine Florus Moscadello di Montalcino of the Castello Banfi winery 

The Winemaking

Florus is produced through a natural drying process on the vine, a method that concentrates sugars and aromas. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures between 16 and 18°C in steel tanks, with a small percentage in 350-liter French oak barriques. Twenty percent of the wine ages in barriques, adding aromatic complexity, while the rest matures in steel, preserving freshness and liveliness.

Tasting the wine of the winery

It has a pale yellow color with golden reflections. On the nose, it boasts a complex and intense bouquet, with predominant notes of dehydrated apricot, honey, and candied orange. On the palate, it is round and full, characterized by a remarkable residual sugar balanced by good acidity. The balance between sweetness and freshness makes it silky and very persistent, with a long aromatic finish.

Food Pairings

This wine is ideal as a meditation wine, perfect for moments of reflection and relaxation. It pairs beautifully with dry pastries, very aged cheeses, or even blue cheeses, which enhance its complexity and aromatic intensity. The suggested serving temperature is between 10 and 12°C, allowing full appreciation of its aromatic richness.
