Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019
99 POINT Castello Romitorio at the lowest price in the USA! The epic and iconic 2019 Tuscan vintage is still giving us moments of sheer delight, and this Riserva packs one heck of a punch!
CASTELLO ROMITORIO! The enchanting, brooding, and hauntingly complex Brunello RISERVA! 99 points, then 97 points, plus triple 96s — with Vinous even calling this little baddie “to die for…” And we got some! Not a lot, mind you, and certainly not enough — but still. And all at the BEST PRICE IN THE USA!!!
Let’s talk about rare…one of only NINE Riservas EVER made at the estate, only 500 cases crafted in 2019, and only about 60 imported to the USA…and we got MORE than anybody else in the country. Let’s touch the heavens with this for a moment — ‘cause a glass of this is a transcendental, out-of-body experience that only a handful of wines can incite in even the most seasoned wine drinker. Poised and perfumed violets, and cassis, with black tea, and pomegranates, then tobacco leaf and this ferrous, almost smoky iron ore character. The first sip brings a cascade of roasted plums, and wet clay, with figs, and dried cherries, and strawberries, with black peppercorns, clove, and smoked paprika. Every swirl, every minute, every hour that it sits in the glass brings a whole new wave of nuance and depth — but the structure, the velvety texture, and the firm, tannic grip is as indomitable and unchanging as a brick wall. The proverbial beauty AND the beast, if you will…and just a drop-dead STUNNER that seems to never end. WOW! This is a bucket-list, taste-it-to-believe-it kind of experience — and I think I’ll just HAVE to pour myself another glass! Hump Day, who????
What a life. Read the reviews, do whatever due diligence must be handled before you can justify your purchase — but trust your digital beverage scribe and spiritual wine guru — do whatever you must with all the speed you can muster, ‘cause you will DEARLY regret missing out on this!
Once in a lifetime Brunello Riserva! Go, go, ROMITORIO!
**Romitorio Fun Fact: Head honcho Filippo Chia’s dad traded 3 of his prized paintings for these 200 hectares of land and a castle that would become Castello Romitorio (Hermitage Castle). Sandro Chia (who also designs all their stunning labels) is a principal member of the Italian Neo-Expressionist movement — and his art is nearly as stunning as the wine inside!**
