2021 Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino DOCG (Magnum 1.5L)

The Pinnacle of Tuscan Elegance in a Grand Format

The 2021 vintage in Montalcino is already being hailed by critics as a modern classic, and the Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino stands as a testament to this exceptional year. Housed in a 1.5L Magnum, this bottle is not just a centrepiece for your cellar; it is a vessel for long-term aging and a statement of refined taste.

Crafted by artist and winemaker Sandro Chia, Romitorio’s flagship Brunello captures the rugged beauty of the high-altitude vineyards surrounding their 12th-century fortress.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep, brilliant ruby red with garnet reflections.

• Nose: An explosive bouquet of wild morello cherry, crushed raspberries, and dried rose petals, underpinned by sophisticated notes of sandalwood, leather, and flint.

• Palate: Impeccably structured. The 2021 shows remarkable purity of fruit with silky, tightly-knit tannins. Vibrant acidity provides a backbone that carries the finish through minutes of savoury herbs and dark minerals.

Why the Magnum?

Magnums are the preferred format for serious collectors. The larger volume of wine relative to the surface area of the cork results in a slower oxidation process, allowing the 2021 vintage to develop more complex "third-level" aromas over decades rather than years.
