Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino 2020
A castle traded for paintings, replanted by an artist, and now making some of Montalcino's finest Sangiovese.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Sangiovese, grown on the slopes of Montalcino, Italy, a classic example of the renowned Brunello di Montalcino DOCG.
Taste Profile: A deep ruby red colour with a complex aroma of red berries, black cherry, leather, tobacco and spices. Full-bodied on the palate, with a firm structure and silky tannins leading to a long, persistent finish.
Winemaking Process: Made using traditional winemaking techniques, including a long maceration period and ageing in French oak barrels for 24 months, allowing the wine to develop depth and complexity from Montalcino's ideal combination of climate and soil.
Winemaker: Castello Romitorio's story began in 1984, when contemporary artist Sandro Chia — a pioneer of Italy's Transavanguardia movement — acquired the then-abandoned castle from art patron Giorgio Franchetti in exchange for paintings, and began replanting its vineyards with Sangiovese. His son Filippo Chia took over in 2006, building a new cellar and expanding the estate, working alongside cellar master Stefano Martini, continuing a partnership between the two families that began with Stefano's father Franco.
