Banfi Brunello di Montalcino Poggio All’Oro Riserva 2019

Description

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio all’Oro is a still red wine with a bold character and intense flavor. Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a
DOCG wine, meaning Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin, produced in the
Tuscany region, in the province of Siena. The Poggio all’Oro vineyard is located south of the
Municipality of Montalcino, at about 250 meters above sea level, in hilly terrain, where the Sangiovese grape finds the perfect climate to thrive. Brunello di Montalcino, both normal and Riserva, is produced only with
100% Sangiovese grapes. The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio all’Oro from the Banfi winery is produced only in
extraordinary years, when the quality of the rigorously selected grapes is excellent. After carefully selecting the grapes from the Poggio all’Oro vineyard, the
maceration begins, lasting 12 to 14 days. The temperature of the steel vats is meticulously monitored throughout the maceration process. After the first phase, the wine ages in
French oak barriques for
30 months and is then bottled and left to rest for another
12-18 months before being released to the market. The long aging process makes this Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio All’Oro a persistent wine, with the perfect balance between smoothness and acidity.
