The Wine Advocate's Monica Larner declares "Filippo Chia's Castello Romitorio is on fire. All of his wines are enjoying a well-deserved moment in the spotlight", and having pushed through to the front rank of Montalcino, Castello di Romitorio is arguably Tuscany's most exciting address. When we first brought on Castello di Romitorio we were convinced this was an estate going places and it's a real pleasure to see Filippo and the team achieve the superstar status they deserve.
The Filo di Seta is Romitorio's single vineyard Brunello is named after a creek that flows through the forest nearby, and is one of the finest wines of Montalcino, regularly scoring into the top five wines of the vintage from Vinous' Eric Guido and Monica Larner. From 350m elevation, the Filo di Seta is an extremely finessed Sangiovese with incredible energy.
Optimal drinking window: 2026 - 2045
What the critics say:
"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."
