Banfi Poggio all 'Oro Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2019

Produced only in the greatest vintages. This is Banfi at its most exceptional.

Poggio all'Oro — "Hill of Gold" — is Banfi's crown jewel, a single-vineyard Brunello Riserva released only when the vintage truly earns it. Crafted from Sangiovese grown on the estate's most prized Montalcino hillside, this is a wine of extraordinary depth, patience, and purpose. The 2019 vintage is one of Tuscany's finest in recent memory.

Tasting Notes
A complex, layered bouquet of blackberry jam, tobacco, and cocoa opens the nose, accented by elegant balsamic and spicy nuances. On the palate it is full-bodied and impeccably structured — ripe black cherry and plum flavors are framed by velvety tannins and a persistent, harmonious finish that speaks to years of careful aging.

The Finish
Elegant and harmonious, with a length and refinement that sets this apart from any standard Brunello.
