Banfi Wines At Oliver's Italian

Join the Denver chapter of the American Wine Society as we explore the wines of the famous Italian producer Castello Banfi at Oliver's Italian in Greenwood Village. Founded in 1978 by the vision of Italian-American brothers John and Harry Mariani, Banfi is a family-owned vineyard estate and winery located in Montalcino, Tuscany. The portfolio’s jewel is the award-winning Castello Banfi vineyard estate in Montalcino, Tuscany. Blending tradition with innovation, their goal has been to create a state-of-the-art winery with the most advanced science in the vineyards to produce premium wines. They are the first winery in the world to be awarded international recognition for exceptional environmental, ethical and social responsibility. 

Our featured speaker for the evening is Brian Basche, District Manager at Banfi

Our event starts when the doors open at 6:30 pm with a reception wine.
