Castello di Romitorio 'Romitorio' Rosso Toscana

The Castello is an historic site in the North-West area of Montalcino. In 1984 it was bought by the famous Italian painter and sculptor, Sandro Chia, the pioneer of Italy’s “Transvanguardia” neo-expressionist movement. Today, wine making is guided by one of Brunello’s leading prognosticators, Franco Martini. The old vines have been honed to perfection to make wines that are as stylish and refined as the Sandro Chia original art pieces that adorn the label. Ian D’Agata, regularly cited as the leading voice on fine Italian wines has said, Casetello Romoitorio’s wines are some of Montalcino’s sleekest and most perfumed. I couldn’t agree more, it is the perfect match of stylishness and power. a blend of Petit Verdot and Syrah, and it does a great job of capturing the exuberance and jovial qualities of sunny Tuscany. The wine shows layers of candied cherries, crème de cassis, sweet almond paste and even a touch of crushed mineral or aspirin. It is creamy and richly textured, with plenty of primary flavors and absolutely no edges. 93 POINTS, WINE ADVOCATE
