Brunello Di Montalcino

Castello Romitorio is an Italian wine estate situated in Montalcino. The estate is particularly renowned for its Brunello di Montalcino wines produced from the Sangiovese grape variety. The estate takes its name from the nearby castle constructed in the 12th Century, and was purchased by the artist Sandro Chia in 1984. Chia began a series of developments that included the planting of several plots of Sangiovese vines that same year. 

Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino is winery's flagship wine and reflects more than 30 years of working in harmony with nature in Montalcino. The estate has new and old vineyards of Sangiovese at high altitudes in the northwest of Montalcino. The Sangiovese grapes are carefully harvested and selected by hand on the sorting table before and after destemming.

Fresh and direct in its sensorial profile, it shows notes of strawberries, red plums, mandarin juice, chopped cedar, marjoram, wild thyme and lemongrass. Full body, soft tannins of good quality and a juicy and linear finish of medium relaxation.

This is impressive upon release but even more true to itself with advancing age.
