2020 Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino Filo di Seta 0,75lt.
Good full, luminous red. Slightly decadent but very pure aromas of plum, red cherry, marzipan, menthol and underbrush. Rich and broad, offers a mouth-filling plumpness without obvious weight to its forest floor, pine cone, minty red and blue fruit flavours. This very silky and seamless wine closes very persistent, smoothly tannic and should evolve slowly and well. One of the year’s best Brunellos.

Filo di Seta Brunello di Montalcino expresses the bold yet elegant character of the wilder and darker essence of the terroir typical of the north-westerly area of Montalcino.
First a temple, then a fortress and a monastery, then a castle, a manor house, a shelter for shepherds and their flocks, and, finally, an art workshop and winery. From the Etruscans to the Romans, through the turbulent Middle Ages, abandonment and then restoration by Sandro Chia in the eighties, Castello Romitorio is a place where time has a physical, tangible dimension. It is a place where wine is an intrinsic part of the history, and which tells the story of hundreds of years of passion for this place, which has always been highly suited to winegrowing, and disputed for its strategic importance as a trade and travel route.
After thirty years of hard work in the area, Castello Romitorio is now an internationally recognized winery specializing in Sangiovese and Brunello di Montalcino. Filippo Chia is committed to tradition and the pursuit of excellence, through classic style and innovation. The most demanding challenge is measuring up to an extraordinary area, and continuing to offer consistently high quality wines that express their origin.
