Castello Romitorio Filo di Seta Brunello di Montalcino 2020

Castello Romitorio Filo di Seta Brunello di Montalcino 2020 is a prestigious single-vineyard wine that represents a cooler, more ethereal expression of the Montalcino terroir. The "Filo di Seta" (Silk Thread) vineyard is located on a north-west facing slope at a high altitude, where the microclimate allows the grapes to ripen slowly while maintaining exceptional freshness and aromatic lift. This 2020 vintage is noted for its balance and elegance, benefiting from a growing season that provided ideal conditions for Sangiovese’s structural development.

On the nose, it delivers a high-toned and complex bouquet of red cherries, wild strawberries, and rose petals, seamlessly layered with sophisticated notes of crushed stone, lavender, and a hint of white pepper. The palate is medium-to-full bodied and remarkably precise, showcasing a core of tart red fruits and pomegranate supported by fine-grained, chalky tannins and a vibrant acidity. The finish is exceptionally long and mineral-driven, leaving a persistent impression of savory herbs and refined silkiness.
