Castello Banfi Estate is located in the Brunello region of Tuscany in Italy. It is a relatively new estate compared to other Italian wineries and started nearly 20 years ago. This winery is owned by the Mariani family and has won several awards, including the Winery of the Year by both Wine Enthusiast and Wine & Spirits Magazine and Top Ten Wines by Wine Spectator.

The south part of the Castello Banfi Estate is situated in the foot of the Monte Amiata, the highest mountain in the region. The slopes offer great possibilities for site selection by variety and results in the quick ripening of quality grapes.

The winery's La Taverna restaurant offers a wine tasting course. This restaurant is open throughout the week from May 3 through October 11 and Monday through Saturday, March 1 to May 2.http://www.castellobanfi.com/tour/taverna_banfi.php
