Depth and concentration define the 2012 Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura, with dense black cherry and plum wrapped in layers of warm spice, tobacco, leather and a touch of charry oak. The palate is full-bodied and richly textured, yet well‑focused, with substantial tannins and dark, savory complexity that signal a long life ahead. This is a powerful, brooding Brunello that favors structure and intensity over easy early charm.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised short ribs, aged Pecorino Toscano

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.
