CASTELLO ROMITORIO ‘ROMITORIO’ TOSCANA IGT 2022

The 2022 Castello Romitorio 'Romitorio' (Toscana IGT) is a bold, modern "Super Tuscan" red blend, composed of 50% Syrah and 50% Petit Verdot, offering a full-bodied, fruit-forward profile. Produced in Montalcino, this 14% ABV wine features aromas of ripe plum, Marasca cherry, and Mediterranean herbs, with a warm, smooth finish.

94/100 Jeb Dunnuck (2022 Vintage)
"Syrah and Petit Verdot shape the 2022 Romitorio, a dark, polished Toscana Rosso with generous aromas of lavender, blackberry, fresh plum, olive, and crushed herbs. The palate is full-bodied and supple, with silky tannins and bright acidity that keeps it moving, never letting the wine feel weighed down. It’s a satisfying, focused red with plenty of appeal over the coming decade."

94/100 Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator (2022 Vintage)
"Blackberry, boysenberry, bacon fat and violet aromas and flavours highlight this supple red. Beautifully integrated, with polished tannins and lively acidity driving the fruit-stained aftertaste. Syrah and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2038. Tasted twice, with consistent notes."

93/100 James Suckling (2022 Vintage)
"Tense and polished, with aromas of ripe cherries, red plums, dried flowers, red licorice and a touch of iodine. The medium- to full-bodied palate is filled with similar fruit and a nicely velvety finish."

92/100 Monica Larner, RobertParker.com, Wine Advocate (2022 Vintage)
"This is a blockbuster 50–50 blend of Syrah and Petit Verdot vinified in stainless steel tanks and concrete. The grapes for Castello Romitorio’s 2022 Romitorio come from the Scansano area but are processed at the Montalcino winery, making for a creative Bordeaux-meets-Rhône experiment set in Tuscany. The wine shows vinous richness with layers of black fruit and a smoky nuance that recalls the wild hills of the Maremma, while notes of cracked white pepper, garrigue and juniper berry lend a distinctly aromatic profile."

Anne Krebiehl MW (2022 Vintage)
"Fruit is foremost: Marasca cherry meets ripe plum in a gutsy, full-bodied package. On the palate there is ample fruit, freshness and quite a bit of body: the tannins are bold but countered by so much fruit that they attain an almost mocha vanilla sweetness and come across smooth on the dense, full body. The finish is warming and rounded, a mouthful of big, fruity exuberance that keeps its mojo for quite a number of years."
