The Art of Precision Meets the Soul of Montalcino
True appreciation of a world-class Sangiovese requires more than a corkscrew; it requires an environment that allows the wine’s volatile compounds to aerate and evolve. This bundle pairs six Italesse T-Made 70 technical glasses with the 2020 vintage from Castello Romitorio, creating a complete sensory ecosystem.
The Instrument: Italesse T-Made 70 (Set of 6)
The T-Made 70 is engineered via Xtreme® technology, moving beyond traditional glassblowing to achieve a specific "tailored" internal geometry.
-
The Flat-Bottom Logic: The 710 cc wide-base bowl increases the surface area-to-air ratio, accelerating the softening of tannins in young Brunellos.
-
Technical Build: Lead-free crystalline glass offers a refractive index that highlights the ruby-to-garnet transition of the Sangiovese grape without visual distortion.
-
Resilience: Despite its elegant profile, the Xtreme® process ensures the durability required for both high-level professional service and frequent domestic use.
The Substance: 2020 Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino
Sourced from the high-altitude, rugged hills of Northwest Montalcino, this 100% Sangiovese reflects the artistic vision of owner Sandro Chia.
-
The Profile: 2020 was a vintage of finesse. While many Brunellos lean toward over-extraction, Romitorio delivers a "New Classic" style—high-tension acidity, saline minerality, and ultra-fine tannins.
-
The Aging Potential: With a drinking window extending to 2045, this wine demands a glass that can grow with it as the primary fruit yields to secondary leather and sandalwood notes.
