A cru of selected vineyards immediately around the medieval Castello Banfi, historically known as Poggio alle Mura (the walled hilltop), in the southern part of Montalcino.
Fermented in stainless steel with traditional maceration. Aged for at least four years, including at least 24 months of oak (90% in French barriques and 10% in Slavic barrels) and 24 months bottle aging before release.
Deep ruby red, tending towards grenade. Bouquet: Violets, sweet ripe red fruits and berries, as well as cigar box and spices. Taste: Flavors of plums, cherries, blackberry jam and raspberries, with just a hint of wood. Well structured with extraordinary concentration of fruit. Supple tannins and long finishes.
