Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino “Filo di Seta” 2018 is a single-vineyard, cru-level expression of Sangiovese Grosso from one of Montalcino’s most artistic and terroir-focused estates. The name “Filo di Seta” (“silk thread”) reflects the wine’s signature style—combining refined tannins with lifted aromatics and a textural, almost silky palate structure.

Sourced from a cooler, higher-altitude site in the northern part of Montalcino, the vineyard is known for producing Brunello with precision, freshness, and aromatic transparency. The 2018 vintage is generally considered elegant and aromatic rather than powerful, and in this bottling it results in a wine that emphasizes finesse, floral lift, and linear structure over raw concentration.

Fermentation is carried out with careful extraction to preserve delicacy, followed by extended ageing in oak (approximately 30 months), allowing the wine to integrate structure while maintaining purity. Critics have praised it for its aromatic complexity, balance, and ageing potential, with strong scores across major reviewers.
