Depth and power define the 2010 Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino Poggio Alle Mura, with brooding dark fruit layered over notes of cocoa, exotic spice, cured tobacco and warm earth. The palate is full-bodied and firmly structured yet polished, the tannins dense and grippy but well-shaped, carrying a long, savory finish where blackberry, espresso and a hint of tar echo for ages. This is a serious, muscular Brunello from a great vintage that demands time and rewards patience with real complexity and gravitas.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised short ribs with polenta, wild boar ragù over pappardelle
Poggio alle Mura is Castello Banfi’s single‑vineyard Brunello di Montalcino made from 100% Sangiovese (selected clones) on the historic Poggio alle Mura estate; vines sit on stony, sandy, calcareous soils and the wine is matured in French oak to produce a concentrated, structured Brunello with aromas of ripe cherry and plum, tobacco/coffee and spice, supple yet firm tannins, and the capacity for long aging.
