About the Producer:
Castello Romitorio is a historic estate in Montalcino, Tuscany, owned by the world-renowned artist Sandro Chia. The estate is known for its commitment to producing high-quality wines that express the unique character of the Tuscan terroir. With a focus on sustainable practices and meticulous winemaking, Castello Romitorio crafts wines that are both elegant and expressive. The Brio label features a large fresco by Sandro Chia, located in the main dining room of Castello Romitorio in Montalcino. The artwork is filled with archaic and dreamlike symbols such as a chessboard representing existence, a violin representing the sound of souls, and a clock symbolizing the circle of life and the transience of time. These elements are all reflected in Brio, a vibrant and musical wine that embodies the beauty and wonder of nature, soul, and time.
The Brio:
"Brio" translates to "vivacity" or "spirit," perfectly capturing the essence of this wine. Sourced from estate vineyards on the gently sloping hills of Scansano, the Sangiovese grapes benefit from a unique microclimate influenced by altitude, south-westerly exposure, and rich volcanic soils. This combination contributes to the wine's vibrant fruit character, balanced acidity, and overall elegance.
Enjoy this captivating Rosso Toscana slightly chilled for a truly delightful experience!
