Always tastes better in the home country. Great proprietor and conversation.

Another modern that is well done and quite drinkable. We think the price is not justified but other than that was a good company to our diner.

Drinking today, I give this an edge over the Poggio, but I know that will change. Banfi knows Brunello!

2013 was a bit young for this Brunello; but after short decanting, it paired beautifully with cold prosciutto cuts and tonnarelli cacio e pepe in front of the Pantheon!! What a night!!!
