Castello Romitorio
Having been abandoned since World War II, Sandro had to completely restore the castle and replant the vineyards which are now sustainably managed and interspersed among virgin woodland. Castello Romitorio has been a long labour of love but thankfully their wines quickly gained critical acclaim and they now have a reputation as a trailblazing estate for how quickly they shot up the Brunello hierarchy.
While Sandro's artwork still adorns the labels, today the estate run by his son Filippo, with the guidance of consultant Paolo Vagaggini, and under his tenure the estate has been "on fire" in the word's of the Wine Advocate's Monica Larner. After being under-appreciated for too long, now "all of his wines are enjoying a well-deserved moment in the spotlight"

Wine Advocate (94)The Castello Romitorio 2017 Brunello di Montalcino comes from an estate that is quickly becoming a leader in a special niche of the Montalcino market. The wine is modern and soft, showing lots of contained ripeness and creaminess, yet it successfully embraces the fundamentals of the appellation and Sangiovese, thanks to its bright acidity and finely tuned structure. Few wines reach this level of precision, especially in a challenging vintage such as this. |
