The Castello Romitorio 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is noticeably a step above its peers thanks to its seamless mouthfeel, its bright fruit concentration and its balanced freshness. It ages in oak for 24 months, and the grapes are picked from a site with cool clay soils. The finish is soft and polished. If you were to buy one village Brunello from the accessible 2020 vintage, let me direct your attention to this wine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95pts Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a mix of seven to eight estate parcels around the castle and brought up mostly in 5,000-liter Slavonian oak, the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is pure and beautifully composed. The nose reveals ripe red cherries, fresh orange, pressed flowers, suede, and dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied, it has supple tannins, balanced acidity, and a clean, mouthwatering finish that makes it hard to resist early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95pts Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntense black cherry, blackberry, violet and mineral aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this taut, well-delineated red. Securely bound by the resonant structure, its refined tannins are assertive and beautifully integrated. The terrific aftertaste picks up elements of wild herbs, and this is amazingly long. A standout for the vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93pts Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe epitome of elegance and impossible to resist now, this has an easygoing, gentle quality without lacking intrigue or nuance. It trades on its gorgeous freshness, and its suave tannins are seamlessly integrated, melding with and moulding a nucleus of toothsome woodland berries. Hints of orange zest and ginseng flit throughout, and the finish is defined by a savoury twist. The estate’s denser, more structured Filo di Seta bottling is equally worth seeking out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93pts Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is vividly fresh and focused, with a cascade of dried strawberry, minty herbs and shaved cedar forming its seductive bouquet. This is a model of purity, with silky textures and a graceful feel. It showcases ripe red berry fruits complicated by a tactile staining of minerality. A gentle tug of fine tannins defines the finish. Hints of sour citrus mix with tart blackberry and licorice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBold, beautiful, an explosion of fruit, with the hallmark elegance of the hills.
