Castello Romitorio 1999 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $59
A glorious Brunello, one overflowing with the scents of leather, tree bark, cherry tomato, and black cherry. One taste confirms the nose, and at every checkpoint it’s full and rewarding. With its huge wingspan, there’s fla-vor and texture at every turn. Hold for 3–10 years before drinking.

Castello Romitorio 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $65
This is a lovely Brunello with black cherry, plum, smoke, bacon, leather and a drying touch of crushed mineral on the nose. It is rich and concentrated, with a slightly sweet-smelling bouquet. The mouthfeel is compact, tight and polished—but there is excellent length too.

Castello Romitorio 1999 Riserva Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $65
Surprisingly sweet but lovable just the same. The nose offers sugared doughnut and marzipan aromas yet the palate has cut-through acidity that ensures that the wine is neither flabby nor dull. Big-time cherry and plum flavors are pure and exciting; all in all there isn’t much more to ask for. Imported by Selected Estates of Europe Ltd.
