Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino 2020

Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino 2020 is an elegant and classic expression of Sangiovese that reflects the estate’s commitment to high-altitude viticulture. The 2020 vintage is noted for its approachability and aromatic purity, following a growing season that allowed for a balanced ripening of the fruit. Sourced from the estate’s hill-top vineyards surrounding the historic 12th-century fortress, this wine was matured for approximately 24 months in oak to refine its structure while preserving its fresh, vibrant character.

On the nose, it offers a sophisticated bouquet of red cherry, wild plum, and crushed violets, accented by delicate notes of sandalwood, tobacco leaf, and a hint of forest floor. The palate is medium-to-full bodied and remarkably graceful, showcasing a core of bright red fruits supported by refined, chalky tannins and a lively acidity. The finish is long and savory, leaving a persistent impression of mineral tension and Mediterranean herbs.
