Description

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio alle Mura Banfi, is perhaps the best expression of Banfi's terroir, grape variety and working method. A name linked to the history of Sangiovese and Brunello, which with this wine concludes a painstaking work of selection of clones chosen from within the estate, united together in a single-varietal blend of complexity and finesse. The vineyards are located in the hilly surroundings of Castello di Poggio alle Mura, at an altitude between 210 and 220 metres above sea level. The Banfi estate has a total area of no less than 2,830 hectares, divided between vineyards, crops, fruit trees, olive groves and woods. The climatic conditions in the area are capable of producing wines of great charm and endowed with all the essential prerequisites for quality in the glass.

Vinification
Harvesting of the grapes is followed by alcoholic fermentation and maceration for 12-13 days in combined steel and Horizon French oak vats at controlled temperature

Refinement
The wine matures a minimum of 30 months for 40% in 60 and 90 hl French oak barrels made according to company production specifications, and for the remaining 60% in 350 l French oak barriques. Before release on the market, the wine matures in the bottle for a further 12 months.

Sommelier Suggestion We recommend pouring the wine into the decanter for a few hours to allow the wine to aerate to awaken all the aromas. This wine is one of the great Italian red wines particularly suitable for ageing. Remarkable already if drunk now, but we suggest to let it rest in the cellar to reach a full and harmonious maturity, with important aromatic evolutions. Ageing capacity of over 20 years.
Tasting Notes In the glass it has an intensely deep red colour with garnet hues. The nose is broad and rich, with hints of confectionery such as plum, cherry and small red fruits, accompanied by balsamic and tobacco notes. In the mouth it is consistent, with great power and fullness, with ripe and gentle tannins that make it velvety and harmonious. A complex and balanced wine with excellent persistence.
Pairing Advice
Pairing Perfect as a meditation wine. It goes excellently with rich and structured dishes, but also with particularly savoury gastronomic products such as mature cheeses or cured meats.
