The wine is then aged for approximately 10–12 months, split between French oak barriques and large Slavonian oak casks. This aging regimen adds complexity without overpowering the fruit, followed by an additional 6 months of bottle aging before release.","brand":"Castello Banfi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57051832648063,"sku":null,"price":27.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/0714\/5343\/files\/500x500_57e25bc0-a5e1-4a42-b04d-caf6db8c8729.jpg?v=1772446080","url":"https:\/\/interactivegroupltd.co.uk\/products\/banfi-rosso-di-montalcino","provider":"Interactive Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
