Persoonlijke gegevens
The Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino is aged in 50% small oak barrels and 50% large oak barrels. It has a bouquet with notes of cherries, raspberries, prunes and figs. This is a perfectly crafted wine with a great deal of intensity, power and purity. The mouthfeel is round. The brunello has a robust character, deep and complex, rich and opulent softened by an elegant and long-lasting taste. This Brunello is an absolute must for wine lovers who prefer the softer side of the Sangiovese grape.
Brunello di Montalcino is a special wine region, but within Brunello Banfi is a special winery. About 800 hectares of vineyards have been planted on the estate of no less than 2830 hectares, making Castello Banfi by far the largest and most important producer of Brunello di Montalcino. In addition, all kinds of other wines are made based on the region's own grapes or imported grape varieties such as chardonnay or pinot grigio. The estate is dominated by a beautifully restored medieval castle, which houses a glass museum, a wine shop and two restaurants. This makes it more than worth a visit.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2019 Banfi Poggio alle Mura Brunello di Montalcino toont rijp rood en donker fruit zoals kers en pruim, aangevuld met gedroogde kruiden, aarde, mineraliteit en stevige, fijnkorrelige tannines die door frisse zuren gebalanceerd worden. Dankzij die combinatie van geconcentreerd fruit, verfrissende zuurgraad en stevige structuur versterkt de wijn rijk vlees en umami‑rijke smaken, waardoor hij uitstekend samengaat met geroosterd of langzaam gegaard rundvlees, stoofpotten en wild, maar ook met oude harde kazen. Extra geslaagd zijn bereidingen met lange gaartijden zoals barbaque en lage oventemperaturen voor lamsbout, langzaam gestoofde runderwang of wildstoof, en gerechten met een umami‑rijke jus of paddenstoelen om de aardse en kruidige tonen van de Brunello te benadrukken. |

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura (with 51,200 bottles made) shows balance and ripeness with a good combination of cherry, wild plum, blue flower, tobacco and sweet earth. The outlier is the 15% alcohol content. The wine is generous in texture and scope, yet it ultimately feels light and accessible to the palate. The tannins are well managed, but the wine's ample fruit weight feels supple and rich. These glass bottles are on the heavy side, with 51,200 of them released.
Castello Banfi decided not to make its top-shelf Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio all'Oro in the hot and dry 2017 vintage. A reg flag is already waving concerning the high alcohol levels in some of these new releases from 2018.

This is a savory and mineral expression with aromas of dried and sour cherries, bark, tomato leaf and iodine. Crushed stones and sea shells, too. Full body with firm, chewy tannins. Some austerity but focused and linear at the end. Needs some time to soften and open. Try after 2025.

From: 2018 Brunello di Montalcino: The Rubik’s Cube Vintage (Dec 2022)
The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura wafts up from the glass with an exotic blend of steeped black cherries and plums offset by minty herbs and hints of pine. This is round and energetic on the palate, with mineral-tinged wild berries accelerated by vibrant acidity. A web of fine tannins clamp down hard through the finale, coupled with a bitter tinge of balsamic spice that creates an achingly tense sensation that lingers on. There’s certainly enough structure to carry the 2018 in the cellar, but I feel its fruit won’t be up to the task of keeping pace.

Castello Banfi belongs to the Italian world top and comes from Tuscany. In fact, Banfi's success story begins as early as 1919. In that year John F. Mariani, an American with Italian blood, starts his wine business Banfi Vintners in New York. More than 50 years later, his sons, John and Harry, venture to Tuscany and start one of the most spectacular adventures in Italian wine history. With American bravura and entrepreneurial spirit, they bought the medieval castle Poggio alle Mura near the town of Montalcino and brought the old vineyards back to life. In the mid-1970s, Ezio Rivella, one of Italy's best oenologists, joined the team. The 'Banfi' project paid off sooner than expected. Castello Banfi (as the company has been officially called since 1984) managed to create the ideal conditions for the different grape varieties in many places.
