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.
Heu und Zitrusfrucht sowie Früchten; im Mund punktgenau, die Säure bestens integriert, feine Mineralität mit dezenter Salzigkeit, viel Schliff bis ins anhaltende Finale.

Drinkability in spades. Salted quince, tangerines and Boskoop apples. Long and dangerous.

The 2021 finishes long and staining, leaving a citrusy concentration and mineral crunchiness. There’s so much going on here, but the 2021 La Froscà will require cellaring to come fully into focus.
