Castello Banfi Poggio Alle Mura Rosso di Montalcino (2018)

Intense ruby-red.  Fresh and fruity with typical varietal notes of cherry and blackberry, enriched by more complex hints of licorice, tobacco and hazelnut. Full, with a soft structure. Surprisingly long finish. 

• Vineyards Sloping vineyards surrounding the historic Poggio alle Mura (walled hilltop) castle. This area was chosen because it is particularly suited to growing extraordinary Sangiovese. Soil is yellowish brown, sandy topsoil, coarse, calcareous; substract of sea sediment originating from the Pliocene Epoch. Abundant rounded rocks.
• Winemaking The grape harvest is followed by a medium maceration of 7-10 days. After an aging period of 12 months in French oak barriques, the wine is bottle-aged.

100% Sangiovese
