Castello Banfi La Lus Albarossa Piemonte 2021 – Intense, modern and characterful red wine

Castello Banfi La Lus Albarossa 2021 is an exciting and different red wine from Piedmont. A wine made from the unique Albarossa grape that combines power, elegance and a modern style. It’s a wine for those who want something new while maintaining the classic Italian finesse.

Albarossa is a relatively rare grape, but it thrives perfectly in Piedmont. The result is a wine with deep color, intense fruit and great structure. The grapes are grown in Monferrato, where the soil is rich in lime and minerals. This gives the wine freshness and balance.

After fermentation, the wine is aged for around 12 months in oak barrels. This adds complexity and rounds out the tannins. The wine then rests further in the bottle before it is released. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
