Cellar
Castello Romitorio is a renowned Tuscan winery located on a hillside complex at the foot of Monte Amiata, in Montalcino in the province of Siena. The owner of the winery, famous painter Sandro Chia, after buying Castello Romitorio in 1984, dedicated many years to restoring the castle and planting new vineyards on its land, while at the same time building a modern, super-technological wine cellar, taking advice from one of Italy's best oenologists, Carlo Ferrini. After thirty years of work on the land, today Castello Romitorio is an internationally recognised winery, a specialist in Sangiovese and Brunello di Montalcino. The Chia family's commitment moves between tradition and the search for excellence, classicism and innovation.
