The 2009 Brunello di Montalcino comes across as thinner than past vintages but well-balanced thanks to the high altitude positioning of the vineyards. It opens to a beautiful garnet color with bright highlights and segues to red rose, licorice, moist earth and delicate forest berry. There’s a slightly understated quality to this wine that works well against the riper sensation inherent to this vintage. Its drinking window should start soon and last five to ten years. Drink: 2016-2023. I recently spent some time on the Internet researching the paintings of Italian artist Sandro Chia. I was reminded of the breadth and beauty of his work: The broad brush strokes, bright colors, voluptuous figures and those odd compositions that morph into a sudden sense of balance the longer they hold your gaze. It occurred to me that those are the exact qualities I love about the wines made at Castello Romitorio that stands so tall and proud on one of Montalcino’s most exposed ridges. The art, the creepy window-deprived castle and the engaging international-interdisciplinary personalities of proprietors Sandro and his son Filippo makes this one of my favorite estates in Montalcino.
