Castello Romitorio

Romitoro is the symbol of Castello Romitorio's vision and continuous aspiration to excellence. Romitoro is a modern and energetic Super Tuscan that combines the opulence of the Mediterranean with the perfect dose of elegance and persistence. This wine is for anyone looking for a Super Tuscan with personality and excellent drinkability.

Castello Romitorio is located in the most pristine and least accessible area of the Montalcino area. The castle was initially built as a monastery but, given its isolated position, it immediately took on the appearance of a hermitage. The Romito is a wine born in 1987 with the intention of making a Sangiovese capable of capturing and expressing the solitary spirit of the hermit (or hermit, in fact), who retired here in search of deeper meanings.

Brunello di Montalcino Castello Romitorio is our pride: the fruit of more than thirty years of work in harmony with nature in the Montalcino terroir. The Romitorio company is located in the northwest quadrant of Montalcino where this classic Brunello is produced from Sangiovese grapes, coming from old and young vines, carefully harvested and selected by hand on the counter, before and after destemming. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, with a short initial period of cold maceration (below 20°C) on the skins for approximately 15-20 hours, followed by a higher controlled temperature maceration which can last up to 20 days. Malolactic fermentation begins naturally and lasts for about 10 days before the wine is left to rest to separate it from the sediment.

Filo di Seta expresses the strong, though always very elegant, character of the wild and dark soul of the microclimate that characterizes the north-western area of the Municipality of Montalcino. The historic Sangiovese vineyards are located at an altitude of about 350 meters above sea level, they are looked after with dedication and passion so that each plant can give birth to harmonious and balanced products, which allow the bunches to reach optimal ripeness.

Only a truly exceptional harvest can give life to Castello Romitorio's Brunello di Montalcino Riserva. Since its foundation in 1984, Castello Romitorio has produced only 10 vintages of this precious wine. The rigorous selection of the grapes destined for the reserve takes place among the oldest vines located in the area north of Montalcino. Each single segment of the vineyard is monitored throughout the vegetative development, the most suitable sections are then chosen, the vines of which are looked after with extreme care, in order to ensure that the fruit reaches optimal ripeness.

Filo di Seta Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is the result of a prolonged refinement and a rigorous selection of the best barrels of the Brunello di Montalcino Filo di Seta harvest. The 2016 vintage, aged for a total period of 63 months, which therefore obtains the denomination of Riserva, is the first of this rare and magnificent wine to be placed on the market.
