Just one bottle of this laser-focused, intensely structured 2016 vintage (97 points) gets you free shipping. What are you waiting for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastello Romitorio is headed up by Filippo Chia, who brought the winery to life in 2006. His father, Sandro, purchased the old hermitage property in Montalcino back in 1984, and for over two decades it served as the Società Agricola Castello Romitorio, which was dedicated to “the study, exploration, and promotion of wines belonging to the DOCG and DOC denominations of Montalcino.” They planted Sangiovese and other heritage varieties across their lands, with a particular focus on the oldest clones available. These plantings account for over half of the Romitorio land today, and Filippo simply couldn’t resist utilizing this prized fruit to craft wines of his own – one of which we have for you today. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2016 is a classic, haunting Brunello style, ready to cellar for the long haul – bright, higher-toned, and mesmerizingly savory, with elements of tart wild berries, dried cherry, pomegranate, blood orange, and wild thyme. It’s grippy and vibrant, with fine-grained tannins and intense minerality.
