Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura
ブルネッロ・ディ・モンタルチーノ ポッジョ・アッレ・ムーラ
Castello Banfi
Sangiovese
About this wine
A cru Brunello named for the historic 13th-century castle at the heart of the Banfi estate (Castello Banfi's original name was Poggio alle Mura). Sourced from vineyards surrounding the castle, it shows notes of black cherry, vanilla, cinnamon, licorice, tobacco leaf and graphite, with chalky, textured tannins.
A characterful cru Brunello — a good next step once you know you enjoy Banfi's house style.
Sommelier's Note
"Named after the castle itself, this cru offers a more savory, mineral-driven counterpoint to Banfi's fruitier estate Brunello — worth seeking out for a sense of place."
Food Pairings
Pairs well with grilled red meats, wild boar ragu, and hard aged cheeses; its chalky tannins benefit from fattier, richer dishes.
When to drink it
Dinners centered on grilled or roasted red meat, and gifting to wine enthusiasts.
