About

Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is a prestigious, dry red wine crafted exclusively from Sangiovese grapes, grown in the esteemed Montalcino region of Tuscany, Italy. This Brunello stands as a hallmark of quality and tradition, embodying the depth and complexity that the DOCG designation signifies, with a focus on showcasing the Sangiovese grape's full potential through meticulous vineyard management and aging processes. The Romitorio winery, known for its commitment to excellence, produces a Brunello di Montalcino that captures the essence of the terroir, resulting in a wine that is both richly flavored and elegantly structured.

Producer

The most beautiful thing in life is often not visible at first glance. The Castello Romitorio winery also borrowed its name from a massive 12th-century fortress surrounded by a thick oak forest on a hill in the north-west of the municipality of Montalcino. The name suggests that this ancient and remote building has served various purposes during its long life, possibly both as a fortification and as a monastery (romitorio - a lonely dwelling). The abandoned building began a new life in the 1950s, this time as a winery, in 1984 when the artist Sandro Chia bought it from his friend, Baron Giorgio Franchetti. He immediately set about restoring the Castello Romitorio, but immediately afterwards began to transform the overgrown fields of the property into vineyards and to build a wine cellar on the ground floor of the castle. Twenty years later, in 2006, the winery began construction of a new state-of-the-art underground wine cellar, which was completed in 2007.

Tasting notes

Upon tasting, Romitorio’s Brunello di Montalcino DOCG reveals a robust palette of flavors, including ripe red cherries and blackberries, interwoven with notes of leather, tobacco, and a hint of earthy truffles, leading to a well-balanced wine with a long, persistent finish. The wine’s complexity is enhanced by its silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that promises excellent aging potential.

Pairing

This Brunello pairs exquisitely with rich, savory dishes such as roasted meats, game, and hearty stews, where its bold flavors and structure complement the depth of the food. It also harmonizes beautifully with aged cheeses, offering a counterpoint to their intensity and bringing out the nuanced flavors of both the cheese and the wine, creating an indulgent and memorable dining experience.

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is one of Italy's prestigious wines.

The wine is typically garnet in color with aromas of red and black fruit with underlying vanilla and spice, and perhaps a hint of earthiness. The wines are usually full bodied with alcohol levels around 14 or 15 percent abv. Good tannic structure and bright acidity provides balance. Rosso di Montalcino is found in the same defined area as its bigger brother. This DOC was created in 1984 in order to make the most of the fruit from younger vines of new plantings. The idea was to create a fresher style of wine that needed considerably less ageing time than its sibling.
