Wine Spectator, June 2026

Ripe aromas and flavors of black cherry, blackberry and plum are driven by vivid acidity in this refreshing red. Mineral and underbrush accents chime in, while a dense matrix of tannins emerges on the long finish...

A rich, plush Brunello that’s certainly flavorful and upfront, with full body and compact tannins. Dense and a little extracted, with a long, tight finish. Drink from 2026. Zekun Shuai Senior Editor

The result of more than two decades of experimental research, Banfi’s Poggio alle Mura is a superb example of the best synthesis of terroir, selection and technological innovation. Estate-bottled from the splendid sun drenched vineyard adjacent to the Castello, this Brunello encompasses a full body and complexity unique to the genre.

Positioned on the hillside at about 700 feet, the vines were planted in 1992 on dedicated vineyards sloping down from the historic Poggio alle Mura Castle which crowns the estate.

Sangiovese, 100% varietal but with various clones, is macerated for 12-13 days. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled, hybrid stainless steel & wood tanks. About 90% of the wine is aged for 2 years in French oak barriques, manufactured according to Banfi’s specifications, and the remaining 10% in Slavonian oak casks. Before release, the wine is bottle-aged for an additional 12 months.
