Country: Italy / Poggio all’Oro Riserva
Variety: Sangiovese Grosso Tuscany
Winery: Castello Banfi / Brunello di Montalcino
Poggio all’Oro (a wine only produced in the best vintages) is a sophisticated and austere Brunello with just a tiny dab of sweet spice and red rose aromas on the bouquet. Beyond those are steady, savory pulses of tobacco, leather and dark cedar. The wine is plush, textured and rich, with a polished firmness that keeps it grounded on the palate.
