BAN BRUPAO10
On the famed estate of Castello Banfi, where traditional practices are carefully blended with modern technology, rests the single vineyard named La Pieve, from which this spectacular wine originates. Here, with near perfect conditions of climate, soil and sun, the celebrated Sangiovese grape achieves greatness.
Made from 100% Sangiovese grapes carefully selected for superior quality, Poggio all'Oro is aged for a total of five years, including a minimum of two years in French oak barriques. With a ruby-red color complemented by a rich bouquet, this wine emerges with exceptional depth and character. Soft, yet intense, it demonstrates hints of plum, chocolate and cherries.
A wine of distinguished quality, Poggio all'Oro Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is perfect for meditative sipping or as an ideal accompaniment to red meats and robust cheeses.
Grape variety 100% Sangiovese Brunello Growing Conditions A textbook example of a great vintage.
The entire season presented optimal conditions for the vines, offering outstanding results both for early and later maturing varieties. Winter rainfall supplied sufficient water reserves for a hot, yet not torrid, summer. A cool spring allowed the grapes to develop a balance that they maintained into the autumn. Light mid-summer rainfall aided stability and allowed the grapes to develop ideal tannins and phenols, resulting in deeply colored wines. A balanced variation between day- and night-time temperatures allowed the grapes to develop intense varietal aromas and remain in perfect condition for harvest.
Fermentation Method:In temperature contolled stainless-steel tanks. Temperature: 27 to 30 degrees Centigrade Length: 14 to 20 days Origin of barrel: French Oak Barriques (Allier, Chers, Troncais)
Tasting Comments: Very intense and deep color. Extremely complex bouquet, with characteristic Sangiovese aromas of soft tobacco, licorice and cacao. On the palate, it's full bodied and well structured with good acidity, elegant tannins, and a long finish. An admirable synthesis of power and elegance with the potential for long ageing.
