Back on the saddle! On October 3rd and 4th the team Poggio alle Mura He will be in Gaiole in Chianti for The Eroica, The event that in 1997 gave rise to a cycling experience that has in recent years become an international movement.

It was indeed from Gaiole that the story of L’Eroica began: fewer than one hundred participants at the first edition and a clear idea of cycling, made up of vintage bicycles, dirt roads, effort, territory and sharing.

For the upcoming event, it offers five routes, ranging from the 46 kilometers of the Chianti Valley to the 209 kilometers of L’Eroico. On Saturday, October 3, the longest routes will be featured, while on Sunday, October 4, the 106, 81, and 46 kilometer routes will be on the agenda.

Banfi in Siena for Red Montalcino

Fresh, vibrant, daring and always territorial: that is how we interpret the Rosso di Montalcino.

On October 2 we will be in Palazzo delle Papesse, in Siena, for the fifth edition of Red Montalcino, The event, organized by the Consortium of Brunello di Montalcino Wine and dedicated to the denomination and its various expressions.

For the first time, the event leaves Montalcino and arrives in Siena, bringing the Rosso di Montalcino to a new context and offering an additional opportunity to tell about its identity, character and versatility.

At the center of the day will be Sangiovese di Montalcino, interpreted by the producers through different styles and sensibilities, but always linked to the territory from which it originates.

The program includes an afternoon walk-around tasting reserved for operators and the press, followed by an open evening with tastings at the producers’ stands. The evening will continue with the Enoteca Collettiva, a food corner and musical performances.

For Banfi, Red Montalcino represents an opportunity to share his interpretation of a wine capable of combining immediacy and depth, freshness and identity.

A different way of telling the story of Montalcino, through one of the most dynamic expressions of its Sangiovese.
