Lornano is a grand Tuscan estate and its wines are some of the Tuscany's best. Made by the outstanding Franco Bernabei, La Bandite is a fabulous, 95-point, single vineyard Riserva Classico. Even richer and more luscious in the terrific 2015 vintage.

The Wine
Located on the hills of Castellina not far from Siena, Fattoria Lornano has been owned by the Taddei family since 1904. Today they use the expertise of top wine consultant Franco Bernabei and his son Matteo. Franco is a gregarious Italian known locally as ‘Mr Sangiovese’ – his speciality grape. He has won hosts of awards including ‘Italian Winemaker of the Year’. Le Bandite is one of the family's top wines, made from Sangiovese sourced exclusively from its single vineyard of the same name. 2015 was an outstanding vintage for Tuscany, hence the lovely richness and depth of this wine and the 95 Points from Decanter's World Wine Awards. Aged for 20 months in French oak barrels, the rest in bottle, this is impressive Italian. Decant early.
