Tasting Notes

Complex and elegant, with dark cherry/berry fruit layered with coffee, pipe tobacco, and warm spice. The palate is full and persistent, with round structure and soft, ripe tannins that carry through the finish.

Food Paring

Pair with roasted or grilled red meats where the wine’s tannin can meet the protein. Savory game and aged cheeses also work well, echoing the wine’s earthy, spicy depth.

Professional Reviews

94 Wine Advocate

"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura (with 51,200 bottles made) shows balance and ripeness with a good combination of cherry, wild plum, blue flower, tobacco and sweet earth. The outlier is the 15% alcohol content. The wine is generous in texture and scope, yet it ultimately feels light and accessible to the palate. The tannins are well managed, but the wine's ample fruit weight feels supple and rich."
