Castello di Romitorio "Romitorio" Toscana Rosso 2021

Wine Advocate : 93 Points

(2/22/2024) This wine has seen several name changes (from Il Toro to RomiTòro and now Romitorio). The Castello Romitorio 2021 Romitorio is a hearty, full-bodied red blend with the muscle and power to mimic the beautiful Sandro Chia drawing of a raging bull on the front label. Fundamentally, this wine shows an all-Maremma spirit with rich concentration, big fruit weight, and a whole range of savory and black fruit aromas. This wine is a delight to drink; it has a soft texture and is just raring to go straight out of the gate. This is one of Italy's ultimate value wines. Drink Date: 2023 - 2028.

James Suckling : 93 Points

(5/25/2023) A fresh and crunchy red with dark cherries, currants, crushed flowers, and a little bit of chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied. So lively and bright with textured, chalky tannins. Attractive juiciness with cherries and red spice undertones. Mineral and savory with some salinity at the end. Drink or hold.

Vinous - Eric Guido : 92 Points

(11/2023) A dark blend of wild herbs, crushed ashen stones, licorice, and black cherry waft up from the 2021 Romitorio. Silky yet sleek, this combines juicy acidity with orange-tinged wild berry fruit to create a sense of boundless energy. It finishes remarkably fresh yet still long and staining as salted licorice fades beneath an air of inner violet florals. The 2021 Romitorio is a wonderfully balanced and high-energy Syrah and Petit Verdot blend. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2028.
