Shows fine definition and velvety texture, finishing on a youthfully tannic note, with strong dark fruit thrust and resonating florality. This is an extremely impressive wine for Yecla.

Very mature and very Yecla because it points out its sweetness and power. This is a type of wine that usually enjoys great commercial success. An impressive and robust style.
The epitome of elegance and impossible to resist now, this has an easygoing, gentle quality without lacking intrigue or nuance. Hints of orange zest and ginseng flit throughout.

The '20 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 texttures and graceful feel.

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.
Dusty tannins pair well with the juicy, opulent fruit. Ripeness here with an almost Bordeaux demureness, but the high acidity shows the climatic context.

Just from sticking your nose in the glass, it smells sophisticated, brooding and sensual. Red cherry meets vanillin, tea leaves and spice in this complex, layered expression.
