    Product description

    Castello Romitorio takes its name from the massive 12th century fortress that sits on top of a hill surrounded by deep oak forest in Northwestern Montalcino. Abandoned in the 1950’s, its rebirth as a winery occurred in 1984 when Artist Sandro Chia acquired the estate. The wines produced here are deep and refined with great complexity and are competing amongst the best Brunellos.

    Aged for at least 26 months in French and Slavonian oak. Red berry, crushed violet and tobacco aromas. The palate is smooth with a velvety texture well balanced with rich tannins. Great length.

    About the producer: Societa Agricola Castello Romitorio

    Castello Romitorio winery is named after the massive 12th century fortress that sits on top of the hill surrounded by deep oak forest in north western Montalcino. Abandoned in the 1950’s, its rebirth as a winery took place in 1984 when Artist Sandro Chia acquired the estate. The restauration started immediately and the overgrown land surrounding the hill were planted with vines. In 2006, the winery broke ground on a new state-of-the art underground cellar completed in 2007. The wines produced are deep and refined with great complexity and are competing amongst the best Brunellos. View our selection.
