Castello Banfi Poggio alle Mura Rosso di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy 2019

Thanks to the perfect union between innovation and tradition comes a Rosso di Montalcino of great elegance.  Fresh and fruity wine, with intense aromas of red fruits that perfectly combine with notes of licorice, tobacco and hazelnut. The structure is large and consistent. Long and pleasant finish on the palate.

 Perfect marriage with red meats and game, as well as ideal with medium-aged cheeses. The ample structure, soft and very consistent, allows a good aging.

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura smolders up from the glass with a dark blend of grilled herbs and ashen stones enshrouding crushed wild berries. It washes across the palate with silky textures and ripe red and blue fruits, guided by juicy acidity. Dark chocolate and autumnal spice amass toward the close. The Poggio alle Mura finishes structured and dry, leaving a chewy wood tannin concentration and a bitter tinge that curls the tongue. There is real potential here, yet it will be many years before these hulking tannins mellow."
