Dark-toned and concentrated, Castello Banfi’s 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura layers ripe black cherry and plum with hints of tobacco, dried herbs and warm earth, framed by a subtle floral lift. The palate is powerful yet surprisingly accessible for the vintage, with generous fruit depth, 15% alcohol that feels well folded into the texture, and firmly structured tannins that promise rewarding evolution rather than immediate plushness. This is a focused, substantial Brunello that needs a few more years to fully knit, but already shows impressive clarity and length.

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.
