100% Sangiovese

Castello Romitorio, which translates as ‘castle of the hermitage’, is located in the wildest and most secluded area of Montalcino. The castle was probably originally built as a monastery, but due to its remote location was considered a hermitage.
Romito was born from the desire to produce a wine that captures and expresses the spirit of the solitary hermits that once retreated here in search of deeper meaning.

Romito is not merely a wine, but also a concept and a way of thinking and being, and was first created in 1987 from the intention to make a great Sangiovese wine in Montalcino. It has been bottled under various appellations, first as a table wine, then a Sant’Antimo Rosso Doc, and finally as an IGT Toscana Rosso.

The label, which was drawn by Sandro Chia and was Castello Romitorio’s first, depicts a warrior standing in front of the castle holding a lance and defending the territory.

TASTING NOTES
Ruby red in color with beautiful dark fruit flavors, including plums, blackberries and hints of crushed raspberries.
Dynamic and extremely pleasant to drink, this is a full-bodied wine that offers soft tones, elegance and warmth.
The round tannins build on the palate, bringing texture and style to the wine, and the bright acidity ensures a long and fruity finish.
