Brunello di Montalcino is a famous wine appellation known for its high-quality red wines, from the Sangiovese variety of Tuscany! Specifically, their hometown is Montalcino, next to which is the artistic winery Romitorio. Castello Romitorio has several centuries of life and from the Roman era to today it has changed many identities. It was a castle, a monastery, a refuge, and a fort, and then it became an art space, until the painter Sandro Chia bought it and everything changed! Through his artistic approach, he managed to turn it into a world-renowned winery!

Now Castello Romitorio has a reputation for producing the highest quality red wines in Tuscany and insists on traditional techniques. Manual harvesting and long aging in oak are some of them, which are responsible for the quality and finesse of its wines. Filo di Seta means 'thread from between', and prepares you for the refined and subtle nature of the winery's star, Brunello di Montalcino.

Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino Filo di Seta, comes from grapes of the Sangiovese variety of Montalcino, where it is known as Brunello. The harvest was done manually and the wine after fermentation spent 30 months in French oak. Before bottling, it remained in the bottle for 12 months!

Yes, this is an epic wine and we would tell you not to rush and keep it in your preserver for years!

In the glass, it is deep red, with brick highlights. It has a high aromatic intensity that needs time in the glass but ideally needs decanting. Complex, with aromas of red fruits such as red berries, cherry, sour cherry, and fig. Intense aromas of violets and spices, such as cinnamon and cloves. Earthy notes and leather follow.

In the mouth, it is full-bodied with a velvety texture, high tannins, and high acidity, while all the elements are excellently integrated. Intense fruity character, with red fruits dominating and accompanying aromas of oak, tobacco, cocoa, and chocolate. The aftertaste is long and balanced.
