Castello Romitorio, a renowned winery in Tuscany, Italy, is celebrated for its exceptional Brunello di Montalcino wines. The 'Filo di Seta' is a distinguished expression of Sangiovese, the grape varietal that defines the Brunello di Montalcino appellation. This wine is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, undergoing a traditional fermentation process followed by aging in oak barrels, which imparts complexity and depth. The wine exhibits a rich flavor profile with notes of ripe red fruits, earthy undertones, and a balanced tannin structure, making it an excellent pairing with hearty Italian dishes such as osso buco or wild mushroom risotto.

Filippo Chia and his team kill it in this vintage. The Castello Romitorio 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Filo di Seta is a beautiful and balanced wine. This estate is making some of the best Brunellos from Montalcino today. In the not too distant past, its vineyards were once considered too cool for ideal fruit ripening, but with climate change, the vines are now in a prime position for balanced phenolics, sugars and acidity. This wine shows a wide and complete bouquet, spanning many aromas, all delivered with direct vertical intensity. This is one of the delightful oxymorons that occurs with fine wine. It shows soft, building intensity, but most importantly, the fruit quality is bright and fresh (with 7,760 bottles made). This is a keeper.
