Note di degustazione
Deep ruby with narrow bricky rim. Still closed on the nose. Compact ripe fruit with plenty of depth. Rich but not sweet or heavy and firm gripping tannins that play up on the finish. (WS)

Fermentation in temperature-controlled tronconic French oak casks and stainless-steel tanks. Aged in 40% French oak casks of 60–90 hl and 60% in French oak barriques of 350 litres for two years. Concentrated ruby. Balsamic cherry and camphor nose that is more savoury than fruity. Tight cherry palate packed with powdery tannins. Lots of tight, tangy fruit on the finish but it has sufficient stuffing to age, just needs time to open up more. (WS)
The 2016 Poggio alle Mura Brunello di Montalcino was aged for two years in 40% large French oak casks and 60% in French oak barriques. It offers concentrated aromatics of confected black cherry, vanilla, tobacco, and tar, and the palate is full of grounding structure and flavors of unsweetened black licorice, cherry pit, and fresh Mediterranean herbs. This will warrant time in the cellar to mature, over the next 15 to 20 years.
This wine represents a selection of fruit from vineyards near the property's postcard-perfect Castello, and it's often the most representative of the new releases presented each year by Castello Banfi. From a classic and balanced vintage, the 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura shows beautiful depth and balance with dark fruit, cassis, dried cherry, licorice, balsam herb and earthy tones. The wine is symmetrical, tight and elegant with long, silky tannins. This is the full Banfi package.
