In Bond Fine Wine. 2016 Castello Romitorio Brunello Filo Di Seta, Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy. Red italy - tuscany in 3x75cl. Sold in bond by Albany Vintners, independent fine wine merchants.
Owned by the celebrated Italian artist Sandro Chia since 1984, Castello Romitorio combines a historic Montalcino estate with a distinctive artistic identity. Its vineyards produce generous, expressive Brunellos with ripe cherry fruit, floral perfume, savoury spice and polished tannins. The style balances richness with freshness, making the wines relatively approachable in youth while retaining good ageing potential. Its single-vineyard Filo di Seta is the more concentrated, structured expression. The estate's regular Brunello is particularly interesting for value, offering considerable character without the prices commanded by Montalcino's most fashionable names.

The wine's various moving pieces come together in harmony. Thanks to…
