Castello Romitorio Il Toro Description
Romitoro is a remarkable blend of 50% Petit Verdot and 50% Syrah, expressing the virtues of Tuscany's moderate climate where vines grow naturally, yielding exceptional quality and quantity of fruit without irrigation. The resulting wine is a bold Super Tuscan, showcasing the thriving of French varietals in Tuscany while retaining the region's distinctive character.
After being aged for about 12 months in oak, this unfiltered wine offers a full-bodied and gutsy palate with ripe plum and Marasca cherry leading the charge. Ample fruit and freshness interplay with a substantial body, where the bold tannins are balanced by a mocha vanilla sweetness, culminating in a dense, full body that is smooth and warming. This fruity exuberance has a lengthy finish, delivering a mouthful of satisfaction that can be savored for years to come.
