Territory and wine style

The Montalcino area is one of the most prestigious expressions of Italian wine, and this Brunello di Montalcino 2015 Castello Romitorio interprets its style with measure and personality. The production from selected Sangiovese, coming from both old and young vines, helps define a wine of structure and finesse, capable of telling both the fruit and the nobler component of aging. Maturation in oak for about 24 months and subsequent resting in the bottle support a harmonious evolution without losing aromatic clarity.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense and complex profile, where notes of ripe red fruit, sour cherry, violets, pomegranate, and hints of oak emerge. As it evolves over time, the bouquet expands towards sensations of earth, sage, soy, leather, and aromatic herbs. On the palate, the wine is assertive yet fine, with well-integrated tannins that build its backbone and a slow, broad, and persistent taste progression. Freshness accompanies the structure, making it dynamic to drink, while the finish leaves a long and coherent trail.
