Castello Romitorio Rosso di Montalcino IGT 2019 (Italy)

Description

• French oak
• Medium bodied
• Plum & vanilla
• Bold, smooth tannins

"Fruit is foremost: Marasca cherry meets ripe plum in a gutsy, full-bodied package. On the palate there is ample fruit, freshness and quite a bit of body: the tannins are bold but countered by so much fruit that they attain an almost mocha/vanilla sweetness and come accross smooth on the dense, full body. The finish is warming and rounded, a mouthfeel of big, fruity exuberance that keeps its mojo for quite a number of years" Anne Krebiehl, Master of Wine

Romitòro is an elegant blend of Syrah and Petit Verdot that expresses the benefits of a moderate climate such as Tuscany’s, where vines grow naturally without needing irrigation and yield an excellent quantity and quality of fruit. The resulting wine is a bold Super Tuscan that attests to the fact that French varietals can thrive in Tuscany and give exceptional quality, whilst retaining an undeniably Tuscan character.

Matured for 12 months in oak.
