✨ Technical Specifications
While the historic house of Banfi is globally renowned for its Tuscan masterpieces, its sparkling wine heritage is deeply rooted in Piedmont at their Strevi estate. 'Tener' represents a creative departure from traditional regional styles, marrying the aromatic vivacity of Sauvignon Blanc with the elegant structure of Chardonnay. Produced using the Metodo Martinotti (Charmat method) to preserve the pristine, vibrant fruit characteristics, this sparkling wine captures the cool-climate freshness of the Piedmontese hills. The name 'Tener' itself evokes tenderness and grace, reflecting the soft, persistent mousse and harmonious balance achieved by blending these two noble international varieties in Italian soil.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1978 by Italian-American brothers John and Harry Mariani, Banfi is centered around the historic medieval fortress Castello di Poggio alle Mura in Montalcino, Tuscany. The estate played a pivotal role in the modern renaissance of Brunello di Montalcino through pioneering clonal research on Sangiovese, state-of-the-art vinification techniques, and dedicated environmental sustainability. Operating across prime vineyard sites in Tuscany and Piedmont, the winery harmonizes classic Italian heritage with modern precision. Banfi is internationally celebrated for its benchmark Brunello di Montalcino bottlings, expressive Super Tuscan blends such as Cum Laude and Belnero, and an expansive portfolio of elegant single-varietal and sparkling wines.
