• Divinale - Castello Banfi Tasting with Cristina Mariani-May
• 6:00pm Seating / 6:30pm Show

Help celebrate International Women's Day with the first event in the Divinale Program

Castello Banfi has been awarded Italy’s highest wine honor as “International Winery of the Year” an unprecedented four times, and been named Italy’s top winery for eleven consecutive years. Cristina Mariani-May represents the third generation of family leadership in the company founded by her grandfather in 1919. As family proprietor, she helps run both Castello Banfi in Tuscany as well as Banfi Vintners, one of the largest wine import companies in the US.

One of the wine world’s most entertaining and charismatic speakers, Cristina will lead a tasting of eight wines including Castello Banfi’s Brunello di Montalcino Poggio Alle Mura from the lauded 2004 vintage, and the 2007 BelnerO, a new release that Banfi calls “the ultimate expression of Sangiovese as a terroir-based wine.”

Seating is limited so we urge you to sign up without delay for what will be a highlight of our Divinale festival!
