Intense black cherry, blackberry, violet and mineral aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this taut, well-delineated red. Securely bound by the resonant structure, its refined tannins are assertive and beautifully integrated. The terrific aftertaste picks up elements of wild herbs, and this is amazingly long.
The Castello Romitorio 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is noticeably a step above its peers thanks to its seamless mouthfeel, its bright fruit concentration and its balanced freshness. It ages in oak for 24 months, and the grapes are picked from a site with cool clay soils. The finish is soft and polished.
A vibrant and focused wine with a bouquet of dried strawberry, minty herbs, and shaved cedar. It is noted for its silky textures and graceful feel, showcasing ripe red berry fruits with hints of minerality and sour citrus. The finish is characterized by a gentle tug of fine tannins and notes of blackberry and licorice
This Tuscan DOCG produced from Sangiovese Grosso is regarded as a first among equals in Italy and the world over for its depth and dimension of flavour and potential for eternal ageing. So when a wine of such steep reputation is vinified by a family of artists, expectations can only rise further. Romitorio's Brunello Di Montalcino exceeds those expectations with a style that Robert Parker has called a leader in the Montalcino market. This family estate was founded by artist Sandro Chia who now entrusts his son Filippo with making Romitorio's acclaimed wines. The vineyards are farmed with minimal intervention and the yields are kept deliberately low, reflecting Sandro's philosophy of enhancing the virtues that already exist in the vineyard. The concentrated grapes are fermented and barrel aged for two years with 10 months of bottle ageing. The wine has been rated 94 points by Robert Parker and 97 points by Wine Spectator, brimming with flavours of sour cherries, red currants, and cedar, crowned by surreal length.
