Castello Banfi has done a great job in a classic vintage. The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura is an impressive effort with high-quality fruit that rises to the top. The bouquet offers polished lines and linear tones of black cherry, dried blackberry, spice, tobacco and grilled herb. In appearance, the wine is saturated and rich. The finish offers a bright pop of acidity that will serve the wine well as it faces its future evolution.

A compact, chunky red, with dense tannins shoring up plum, cherry, earth, underbrush and tobacco flavors. Big and beefy, featuring a wave of stiff tannins on the finish. Best from 2023 through 2035. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 4,550 cases made, 2,509 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
