Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino Filo di Seta 2020

Romitorio Filo Di Seta Named for a creek that flows nearby, there was never a more perfect name for a wine with such wonderfully plush tannins — seta means silky in Italian – and an elegance second to none. An excellent expression of high-altitude Montalcino wines, bright, structured, and warming, with generous aromas of wild strawberries, chocolate, and coffee.

98 Points -

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.

A silky texture announces this cherry-, blackberry- and violet-flavored red, along with notes of graphite, tobacco and wild herbs. Well-structured, with profound yet finely wrought tannins and an extra dimension of finesse that stands out. Boasting superb balance and a seemingly never-ending aftertaste, this is multidimensional and focused.

94 Points - 

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Filo di Seta is youthfully coy. Swirling the glass slowly unlocks layers of crushed stone, dried flowers, plums and smoky blackberries. It displays textures of pure silk, with polished red and black fruits elevated by a balsamic flourish that amasses toward the close. Dramatically long yet youthfully tense, it finishes structured with a saturation of fine tannins and hints of exotic spice. Bury the Filo di Seta in the cellar. It's a sleeping beauty. Rating: 94+
