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.

| Climate | The climatic course of the vintage is a textbook example of winegrowing. All the phenological phases of the vine took place in the optimal period and under optimal climatic conditions. A rainy winter allowed the soils to build an excellent water reserve, which the vines could draw on during the summer. Thanks to the cool spring, the vines developed a balanced vegetation, which they could maintain until the harvest. The presence of rainfall during the veraison period was fundamental in guaranteeing the correct plant metabolism and, therefore, the balanced ripening of the grape's carbohydrates and polyphenols. Finally, the excellent night-time temperature fluctuations during the autumn period allowed the development of intense varietal aromas. At harvest, the grapes were very healthy. |
