Banfi Poggio Alle Mura Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018

From Montalcino's most prized hillside — a Brunello of exceptional character.

Poggio alle Mura — "Hill of Walls" — is Banfi's single-vineyard Brunello, crafted from estate vines identified as the most suitable for Sangiovese through rigorous zonation studies dating back to 1980. The 2018 vintage is a powerful, structured expression of this exceptional site — a cooler year that produced wines of impressive concentration and depth, with the backbone to age beautifully for decades.

Tasting Notes
Intense ruby red with a complex olfactory structure — notes of currant and blackberry stand out, combined with hints of rhubarb and roasting that add depth and intrigue. On the palate it's full-bodied and structured, with soft tannins and the classic Brunello acidity that gives this wine its remarkable longevity.

The Finish
Spicy and persistent, with notes of white pepper and juniper carrying through to a long, velvety close.
