Description:
The scent of the sun-dried earth and the oak forest is right there with the characteristically tangy Marasca cherry note of Sangiovese.
The body has tension and shape without being heavy, there is freshness and bite: this was made for the table. This is pervasive and honest, has both impact and agility. The fruit -redcurrant, cranberry and Morello cherry- sings with purity on the finish. This has charm and character in spades.

Castello Romitorio
At the beginning there was a temple, a fortress and a monastery. Then a castle, mansion, protection for herds and finally an art workshop and a wine cellar. From the Etruscans to the Romans, Castello Romitorio is a place where time has a physical, tangible dimension. Where wine lives from history, and history tells of a thousand years of passion for this place, which has always been dedicated to wine production and had an important strategic role in the transit of commercial goods.
