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.

Falstaff
An elegant, bright ruby red colour with a luminous core. Elegant on the nose, blood orange, rosehip, subtle strawberry, with minimal smoky tones and a very slight note of sealing wax. Elegant on the palate, very fresh, with a slightly ferrous note, grippy, powerful, vibrant, with a salty finish.
Wine Spectator: 97 Points
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.
Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW: 96 Points
The 2020 Filo di Seta has Bing cherry, orange zest, toasted baking spices leading into a juicy palate with loads of concentration and tannins that are sappy and well-managed.The oak is showy but does overpower the fruit on the finish. Polished and modern in style, it's an impressive wine with no hard edges.
