Banfi is a private concern, founded in New York in 1919 by John Mariani, Sr. and today owned and operated by his grandchildren.
When he established the company on Spring Street in the heart of New York’s Little Italy, John Mariani, Sr. named the company after an aunt, Teodolinda Banfi, a woman of eclectic tastes who supervised his early education and greatly influenced his views toward fine wines.
Sangiovese, clearly a native, is the most widely planted of Italy’s red grape varietals and is of particular interest in Emilia Romagna, Tuscany, the Marches and Umbria. Over 650 clones of Sangiovese have been identified in the Montalcino zone alone, approximately 15 of which have been studied and registered by Castello Banfi (the only winery to undertake
such a project). The Sangiovese is used in the production of Brunello di Montalcino and Prugnolo of Montepulciano (Vino Nobile) Chianti and Morellino di Scansano among others.
