THE WINE
The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 'Poggio alle Mura' by Castello Banfi is produced from Sangiovese grapes from specialized vineyards located around the Castle of Poggio alle Mura. Extraordinary elegance, great finesse, and a very long aging potential thanks to 5 years of aging, just over 2 of which are in French oak barrels. A unique Brunello Riserva, among the best of its kind.
THE COMPANY
Banfi was founded in 1978 thanks to the will of Italian-American brothers John and Harry Mariani. From the beginning, the two brothers envisioned a large-scale project, integrating quality viticulture with a modern winery with the goal of always maintaining a high quality level of the wines produced. Alongside the Mariani family, Ezio Rivella, one of the greatest Italian enologists, immediately believes that due to the richness of the soil and the privileged microclimatic position, the acquired territories would have great development potential. In those years, the brothers John and Harry also acquired the historic Piedmontese winery Bruzzone, active since 1860 and specialized in the production of sparkling wines, to make it the Piedmontese brand of the group, today Banfi Piemonte.
