Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2012 Romitorio

Castello Romitorio delivers yet another excellent set of wines from Montalcino. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino is hearty and dark with enough grit and concentration to pair with classic Tuscan cuisine including steak, game meat or smoked cheese. The mouthfeel is textured and rich. Vibrant fruit and dark tones of black currant, plum, spice and pipe tobacco characterize the bouquet. This is a contemporary Brunello that also flaunts its Tuscan roots and it authentic personality. It delivers on all of the promises you'd expect from a complete and classic Brunello.

Here is a full-bodied Brunello with lots of dried fruit, orange peel and hints of spice. Full and velvety. Rich and opulent finish. Yet always in form. Drink in 2020.

Medium-dark red. The enticing nose of violets and red berries is complicated by hints of minerals. Then bright, juicy and firm, with noteworthy acidity providing clarity and cut to the fresh red berry and sour red cherry flavors. Long and vibrant on the finish.
