castello romitorio brunello di montalcino 2019

The 2019 vintage of Brunello di Montalcino is a beautiful example of Castello Romitorio's wines. This flagship wine comes from Sangiovese vines planted between 200-400 meters, blending old and new vineyards for depth and complexity. Aged for 24 months in oak and refined in bottle, it reveals layers of pure cherry, kirsch, wild thyme, and rose, with a stony mineral edge. Silky yet structured, it glides to a long, resonant finish—best enjoyed from 2026 onward.

Perfect with slow-braised meats, wild mushroom dishes, or aged Pecorino cheese, this Brunello is a standout for collectors and those who appreciate artful winemaking. The striking label, featuring a centaur, symbolizes the balance between human craft and nature’s wild beauty—just like the wine itself.
