Join us for an intimate Winemaker’s Dinner in partnership with Castello Banfi, a family-owned winery crafting exceptional wines in Novi Ligure/Aqui Terme and Montalcino since 1978. Rooted in the highly renowned terroirs of Piedmont and Tuscany, each bottle reflects the passion of the Mariani brothers and their dedication to quality and tradition.
For one evening, Brix’s in-house sommelier and chef, Marcel Richard, welcomes Mr. Rodolfo Maralli (President) and Robert Spano (Export Director) of Banfi for a guided tasting experience. Guests will enjoy a thoughtfully curated multi-course Tuscan style meal, designed to complement a lineup of exclusive wines from this iconic producer.
This specialty menu experience invites you to savour, discover, and connect – an elegant evening crafted for wine lovers and curious palates alike.
Rodolfo Maralli is President of Banfi and also serves as Director of Sales & Marketing, overseeing global commercial strategy, communications, and international brand development for one of Italy’s most prestigious wine estates. With more than three decades at Banfi, Rodolfo has played a key role in the company’s growth and international success, helping strengthen Banfi’s position as a global leader in fine Italian wine. Based in Montalcino, he is deeply involved in promoting the legacy of Castello Banfi, a pioneering producer widely recognized for its contributions to Brunello di Montalcino, sustainability, innovation, and Tuscan hospitality.
