Fruit is foremost: Marasca cherry meets ripe plum in a gutsy, full-bodied package. On the palate there is ample fruit, freshness and quite a bit of body: the tannins are bold but countered by so much fruit that they attain an almost mochavanilla sweetness and come across smooth on the dense, full body. The finish is warming and rounded, a mouthful of big, fruity exuberance that keeps its mojo for quite a number of years.
Laced with blackberry, black currant and violet aromas and flavors, this succulent red is solidly built and well-integrated. Picks up spice and mineral elements on the long, fresh finish. Syrah and Petit Verdot.

This rare house blend of Syrah and Petit Verdot reflects Romitorio's creative ambitions. It's also recognition of Tuscany's historic revolution of Super Tuscan that saw the region's greatest winemakers rebel against authority and dared to plant French varietals. And that is what Filippo Chia has done with this blend of a Rhone Valley and Bordeaux grape. Filippo follows his father Sandro's philosophy of viticulture, of enhancing the virtues that already exist in the vineyard by farming with minimal intervention. The wine has been matured under oak for a year that drinks of juicy black fruit and sweet spices with cedar on the finish.
