Tasting notes
Castello Banfi's Poggio alle Mura Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a stunning showcase of Sangiovese at its finest. The 2004 vintage, in particular, is a tribute to the harmonious blend of power and elegance that the Tuscan climate imparts. Crafted in the hilly terrains of Montalcino, this wine stands out among Italy's red wines.
In 'Drops of God,' Vol. 29, this wine appears when Shizuku first visits a winery in Montalcino. The scene is set amidst a backdrop of fluttering petals, where the wine's rich aroma is compared to the graceful dance of Heian court ladies. Just imagining sipping it in such a setting is enchanting.
The color is a garnet with a hint of a brick-like rim, indicating its maturity. The nose opens with aromas of ripe black cherries, dried plums, and a touch of licorice. On the palate, it is smooth and silky, with tannins that caress your tongue. The acidity is lively, making the wine well-balanced overall.
The finish is long, leaving a complex aftertaste that beckons you for another sip. It's best enjoyed in a large glass to truly savor its depth.
