  To celebrate Castello Banfi’s 40th birthday, the winery commissioned a special limited edition wine from its wine making team. The wine, simply called “40”, was bottled only in magnums and will not be sold in any market. The history of the wine is very cool and mysterious. When I inquired as to what grapes the wine was made from, this is the answer I received.
  
  “The actual blend is a top-secret formula. All we know for sure is that there are bits of wine taken from every vintage going back to 1978 (including 2017 juice from barrel). We actually uncorked old bottles from the historic cellar to contribute to the blend, and that some of the components were never released to the public; such as some “experimental” grape varieties and vineyards. It is, quite literally, a blend of mystery and intrigue.” Pretty cool.
