Summary

Castello Banfi's Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio alle Mura 2015 is a distinguished expression of 100% Sangiovese, sourced from the estate surrounding a historic castle in Tuscany. This Riserva is aged for over six years, combining French barriques and Slavonian casks, resulting in a wine with depth and complexity. The 2015 vintage is celebrated for its cellaring potential, showcasing aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, and earthy undertones, complemented by hints of licorice and spice. The palate features a robust structure with chalky tannins and lively acidity, making it approachable yet worthy of aging. Notably, it reflects significant research into Sangiovese cultivation at Banfi, with only 20,000 bottles produced.
