A Castello Banfi tasting by Erika Ostrander of Maverick distributors at the Round Rock Wine Bar yesterday evening. This Tuscan Winery from Sant'Antimo makes the gamut in great Tuscan wines, from Brunello di Montalcino to IGT Super Tuscans. The Poggio All'Oro Brunello di Montalcino Reserva 2015 was the wine of the night. The Riserva wines are typically made in the best vintages and this wine proved that point. Excptional vintages in Tuscany (besides Montalcino) are 2016 and 2021 but the 2018 Excelsus IGT (Merlot and Cab Sauv blend) drank very well.
