What kind of wine is it

San Angelo by Banfi is a Tuscan white wine obtained exclusively from Pinot Grigio grapes. It features a fresh and linear profile, with crisp aromas and a slender structure inviting immediate enjoyment. Vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel preserves the purity of the fruit and a clean aromatic profile. The finish is dry and well-defined, with a sapid character that offers balance and precision.

Where does it come from

This wine originates from Tuscany, a region characterized by its local soils and sunny climate, which encourages gradual grape ripening. In this environment, Pinot Grigio reveals precise fruit and a pronounced sapidity, typical of the region's technical and clean whites.

How is it produced

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to retain aromatic intensity and acidity. After pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at temperatures between 13 and 16°C, ensuring the fruity and citrus notes remain intact.

Tasting notes

Visually, it reveals a pale straw yellow color, clear and bright. The nose offers clean scents of apple and peach, enriched by citrus hints that bring freshness. On the palate, it is smooth, with lively acidity, minerality, and a marked sapidity that prolongs the progression. The finish is dry, harmonious, and precise, with fruity echoes and a sense of balance.

Food pairings

San Angelo pairs easily with light fish dishes, delicate pastas, and mildly spiced white meats. Its freshness and sapidity enhance preparations like lightly-styled cacciucco, mild fish soups, and seafood grills. It’s also excellent with citrus risottos and lemon chicken fillets, resonating with the wine’s fruity and citrus notes.

When to serve

Ideal for light lunches, aperitifs, and fish-based dinners, San Angelo showcases its full aromatic expression when served chilled, between 8 and 10°C, in medium-sized glasses. Designed to be enjoyed young, it maintains balance and aromatic clarity if properly stored for a short period. The best time to appreciate its freshness is within a few years of harvest.
