Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino 2020
Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino is the pride and joy of the estate. This exceptional Italian red wine is the direct result of over thirty years of work in harmony with nature in the rugged hills of Montalcino. Made entirely from the region's famous Sangiovese grape, the wine is built to perfectly express the distinct character of the local terroir and the absolute purity of the fruit. As required by strict appellation laws, a true Brunello demands immense patience, undergoing a mandatory five years of maturation before release. Within this statutory period, Castello Romitorio rests the wine for 24 months in oak casks, followed by a further 12 months of quiet bottle ageing deep within their historic cellars to achieve its signature depth. The result is a truly special Tuscan red wine that expresses its home with striking clarity. It is a brilliant bottle for the dining table, pairing perfectly with a classic herb-stuffed porchetta, slow-braised beef, or a rich mushroom risotto.
