The 2020 RomiTòro is a blend of Petit Verdot and Syrah, and it does a terrific job of capturing the exuberance and jovial qualities of sunny Tuscany. The wine shows layers of candied cherries, crème de cassis, sweet almond paste and even a touch of crushed mineral or aspirin. This 70,000-bottle release is creamy and rich in texture, with lots of plump primary flavors and absolutely no rough edges.

Strawberries, red cherries, bark, walnuts, cedar and chocolate orange on the nose with hints of truffle. Medium-bodied with firm, chalky tannins. Focused and flavorful. Better from 2022.
Product Description:
Castello Romitorio is well regarded for their top-flight Tuscan wines. The property was purchased in 1984 by famed artist Sandro Chia, and the estate and cellar were drastically renovated and revamped in the early 2000s.
Sandro's son Filippo has led the charge in renewing these classic wines. While the estate has historically been focused on Brunello, they have really started reworking this unique Super Tuscan blend in the last few vintages and the 2020 is a true stunner!
A 50/50 blend of Petit Verdot and Syrah crafted for pure pleasure and drinkability, Romitoro is the ideal red to stock up on and enjoy for any occasion!
