Brunello di Montalcino Castello Romitorio is what truly represents Romitorio:
the fruit of more than thirty years of work in harmony with nature in the
Montalcino terroir. This wine purely expresses the territory of Montalcino and
embodies the best of the ancient local tradition of cultivating an excellent
Sangiovese. The Romitorio company is located in the northwest quadrant of
Montalcino where this classic Brunello is produced from Sangiovese grapes
carefully picked and selected by hand on the counter, before and after
destemming. The wine ages in oak for about 24 months and after bottling it is
aged in the controlled-temperature cellars of Castello Romitorio for another 12
months or so before being put on the market.

"Here is a full-bodied Brunello with lots of dried fruit, orange peel and hints
of spice. Full and velvety. Rich and opulent finish. Yet always in form. Drink
in 2020." 94 pts, James Suckling

"Castello Romitorio delivers yet another excellent set of wines from Montalcino.
The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino is hearty and dark with enough grit and
concentration to pair with classic Tuscan cuisine including steak, game meat or
smoked cheese. The mouthfeel is textured and rich. Vibrant fruit and dark tones
of black currant, plum, spice and pipe tobacco characterize the bouquet. This is
a contemporary Brunello that also flaunts its Tuscan roots and it authentic
personality. It delivers on all of the promises you'd expect from a complete and
classic Brunello." 93 pts, Monica Larner, WA

"Medium-dark red. The enticing nose of violets and red berries is complicated by
hints of minerals. Then bright, juicy and firm, with noteworthy acidity
providing clarity and cut to the fresh red berry and sour red cherry flavors.
Long and vibrant on the finish." 91 pts, Ian D'Agata, Vinous
