Banfi Rosso di Montalcino Poggio Alle Mura stands as a testament to the marriage of passionate winemaking and cutting-edge innovation in the heart of Tuscany. Banfi, renowned for its commitment to quality and sustainability, has established itself as a trailblazer, producing wines that honour both tradition and modern expertise. Nestled on the slopes of Montalcino, the vineyard flourishes on reddish continental clay soils, rich in stones and pebbles, ideal for cultivating the region's signature Sangiovese grape. Careful vineyard management and selective harvesting preserve the natural varietal aromas and the grape's acidity, resulting in wines with remarkable structure and complexity. The wine matures in a combination of large French oak casks and smaller barriques, imparting refined oak influences while allowing the elegant fruit character to shine.
