2019 Brunello di Montalcino, Castello Romitorio

2019 Brunello di Montalcino, Castello Romitorio

Ref: ROMI19
Red  |  Still  |  14% ABV

Romitorio was close to the epicentre of the Etruscan empire. The foundations of the castle itself probably date from Roman times. It was for years a monastery before being fortified in the times of strife between Siena and Florence. Subsequently a country villa, it was nevertheless abandoned after WWII and stood empty for many years. After a period as a shepherds' hospice, Romitorio was bought by Baron Giorgio Franchetti in the 1970s. The baron started a program of refurbishment, but never completed it, and the property was sold again in 1984 to Sandro Chia, a well-known artist. Chia's son Filippo now runs the estate and has gained international recognition for its wines.

Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes

Lustrous ruby. A little spicy and still quite tight on the nose. Compact cherry fruit and with plenty of depth on the palate. Proper concentration with lots of supple acidity and a core of gravelly tannins. Needs more time but this shows lots of promise. Beautiful label.Walter Speller

Sweetness Explained
Sweetness Explained

Sweetness

All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab. 

Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
