Wine Advocate: 96 Points
This is a remarkable Brunello from a COVID-19 vintage that launched many curveballs at producers. The Castello Romitorio 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is noticeably a step above its peers thanks to its seamless mouthfeel its bright fruit concentration and its balanced freshness. It ages in oak for 24 months and the grapes are picked from a site with cool clay soils. The finish is soft and polished. If you were to buy one village Brunello from the accessible 2020 vintage let me direct your attention to this wine. Production is 40000 bottles. Castello Romitorio is releasing a new wine made with 100% Syrah this year (from the 2021 vintage). In other news the estate completed its certification for organics in 2022. This is one of the best set of new releases from this dynamic producer. Published: Nov 21 2024
