The season, characterized by a balanced climate with warm but not scorching summers and an excellent temperature range between day and night, allowed for perfect phenolic development of the grapes. The result is a wine with a mature profile, with full fruit and well-smoothed tannins, yet still capable of evolving over time.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe winemaking of \u003cstrong\u003eBrunello di Montalcino DOCG 2015 - Castello Romitorio\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, to preserve the aromatic purity of Sangiovese. Maceration, the contact between skins and must, lasts several weeks to extract color, body, and tannin.

A period in the bottle then completes the process before release, a precious time to harmonize aromas and structure.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nTo the eye, it presents an intense ruby red with slight garnet hues, a sign of an initial evolution and good potential longevity.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe bouquet is broad and deep, with hints of ripe cherry, plum, and small red fruits, followed by spicy notes of vanilla, sweet tobacco, and a balsamic accent.
