Banfi

More than four decades ago, John and Harry Mariani fulfilled a dream and bought the Banfi winery in Tuscany.

Banfi, based in Montalcino, with its fairy-tale castle and around 850 hectares of vines, is the American dream come true. Founded in 1978 by the two brothers John and Harry Mariani, two Italian-Americans who had made a name for themselves as wine importers in New York, the company has put an incredible amount of heart and soul into making it what it is today: an Italian wine empire centred on Sangiovese, which focuses entirely on quality and presents a very diverse, solid range of wines year after year. Banfi has played a major role in the history of Brunello.

Today, Banfi is managed by Cristina Mariani-May. With her modern corporate style, which is committed to sustainability and tradition alike, and her great team in the vineyard and cellar, she ensures that Tuscan wines continue to ride a wave of success worldwide.
