If you are still wondering whether now is the time to buy Brunello, this vintage is the one to jump on, and both wines from Castello Romitorio are worth chasing down.

The production of Filo di Seta is limited to 6,500 bottles and Monica Larner awarded this single vineyard Brunello 98 points, same score as Poggio di Sotto!

The winery has quickly established itself as a premier Montalcino estate, shaped by painter Sandro Chia and now run by his son Filippo. The unique terroir of mineral-rich soils, at varying elevations, influenced by the cooling effect of the surrounding woods, allows for nuanced, complex flavour profiles.

Every bottle features labels designed by Sandro Chia, reflecting the “creative soul” of the estate, echoing the deep connection between wine and art.
