Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva Poggio all'Oro 2019 Banfi

What kind of wine is it?

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio all’Oro by Banfi is a red wine made from Sangiovese, produced exclusively in exceptional vintages and sourced from a single vineyard. Fermentation at controlled temperature in tanks that combine steel and French oak, followed by a long maturation in wood, define a full-bodied, structured style with marked acidity and well-integrated tannins, designed to maintain balance over time.

Where does it come from?

This wine is born in Montalcino and comes from the Poggio all’Oro vineyard, located in an area characterized by temperature variations favorable to ripening and by good summer water availability. These conditions allow for mature, concentrated grapes while preserving an acidity that contributes to the definition and gustatory persistence typical of a Riserva.

How is it produced?

Vinification takes place in tanks that combine steel and French oak, with temperature-controlled fermentation to guide extraction and maintain aromatic precision. After fermentation, the wine ages for a long period in wood, in French oak casks and partly in barriques, building structure and complexity and progressively integrating the tannins.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows an intense ruby red color. The nose offers sweet and complex notes of blackberry jam, tobacco and cocoa, accompanied by balsamic nuances that add depth. On the palate, it is substantial and structured, supported by marked acidity and well-integrated tannins, with a long and harmonious finish.

Food pairings

It pairs well with rich and complex dishes, where its structure and tannic texture find a match. Ideal with flavorful meat preparations and slow-cooked dishes, thanks to its marked acidity and lingering persistence; it can also accompany a roast. Its style and depth also make it suitable as a meditation wine at the end of a meal.

When to serve it

It is suitable whenever you want a red with great structure for an important meal or a dedicated tasting. Maturation in French oak, both in casks and barriques, contributes to a complex profile and already well-integrated tannins, making it enjoyable even after proper aeration. The balance between acidity and substance makes it also suitable for cellaring and observing its evolution over time.
