The 2016 vintage has been hailed as one of Brunello’s “greatest ever” growing seasons – and a decade in has this beauty shining like never before!!! I tasted this simply iconic wine at the winery, in Montalcino last year…and I’ve been DREAMING of this beauty ever since!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver $100 off the retail price. For a SUPREMELY limited, utterly impeccable RISERVA from one of Brunello’s best…welp, it just doesn’t happen that often, I can tell you. 2016 is a FIVE STAR, absolutely ROCKING vintage for this picture-perfect corner of Tuscany – and the brilliant, mad geniuses at Romitorio selected this savory, meaty, simply HAUNTING Brunello from a best-of-the-best selection of two barrels, one tonneau, and one cask in their cellar. And THE CELLAR!!! It’s a maze of barrels, and tanks, and priceless artwork. Statues, and sculptures, paintings, and carvings…from ancient Etruscan origins all the way to the modern Neo-Expressionist musings of this most excellent Chia family…I mean, HUZZAH! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou simply cannot help but to be inspired. And – I’ll bet –the wine feels the pressure to live-up to its own environment! But this TRIPLE 97 POINT 2016 Riserva? In a special cellar, on a remarkable estate, that sits on some of the most exceptional grape-growing land in all the world…this 2016 TOWERS above.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRomitorio is tucked away in their remote, forest-flanked parcel on the northwest side of Montalcino — and what Filippo Chia and his team produce here is something that transcends the category. The power. The depth. The simply chilling balance of fruit, and spice, and leather, and wild herbs…it sings with dark cherries, and new leather, porcini mushrooms, inky balsamic, and vibrant, uplifting flecks of rosemary, and smoldering sage. The roasted plums and structured graphite give this muscle and backbone for days, and every swirl brings some new sensation rushing to the top of the glass. It’s so ferociously beastly, yet so elusively elegant I can’t help but think of a snow leopard – and the scarcity of this prized creature serves only to reinforce the notion. Is it worth our unbeatable price? Without hesitation. Will it last more than a few hours? Almost certainly not. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEpic Brunello…while it lasts!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e**\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRomitorio Fun Fact: Filippo Chia's father, Sandro — the legendary Italian Neo-Expressionist painter who designs all of Romitorio's iconic labels — traded three of his own prized paintings for the 200 hectares of land and crumbling castle that would eventually become Castello Romitorio. One art form funding another. It doesn't get more poetic than that.**\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Last Bottle Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53854455496988,"sku":"1012443","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0763\/5091\/4844\/files\/1012443_LB_BottleShot.jpg?v=1778103365","url":"https:\/\/lastbottlewines.com\/products\/castello-di-romitorio-brunello-di-montalcino-riserva-2016","provider":"Last Bottle Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
