Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016

A Brunello di Montalcino Riserva from Castello Romitorio, made from Sangiovese. After fermentation it ages for about 36 months in French oak barrels, then continues to mature in glass before release from the sixth year after the harvest. Only a few thousand bottles are produced. The wine is rich on the palate, with a warm, enveloping sip and a perfectly balanced, elegant bouquet. It suits game and red meat dishes with robust preparations, such as wild boar stew. The nose shows plum, cherry, coffee, liquorice, clove and vanilla. The palate is sumptuous, opulent, rich and round, with volume and depth, and the finish is persistent.
