“Romitorio” Rosso Toscana IGT 2021
Syrah and Petit Verdot form the basis for an exciting cuvée with which the Chia family once again demonstrates its great talent for Tuscan wines. Deep dark garnet red colour. An unexpected cornucopia of dark, smoky fruit on the nose, with spicy herbs, complex and deep. Impressive texture and elegance on the palate, with spicy notes of raspberry, a salty vein and invigorating acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018
Medium, radiant ruby red. Complex nose of sweet and cedar wood, paired with Mediterranean maquis and delicate sweet cherry. In the mouth, balsamic notes, very finely woven tannins and a wonderful complexity that envelops the juicy fruit core and gives the wine an impressive depth and length. The elegance is also very impressive and will certainly increase with further maturity. SUPERIORE.DE

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019
Castello Romitorio's 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is a classic expression of the 5-star vintage in Montalcino (consortium rating), showing plenty of ripe fruit, minerality, herbal nuances and varietal purity. This wine hits the sweet spot between elegance and power, which is not easy to achieve. It offers a wide range of Sangiovese flavours with wild cherry, forest floor, crushed clove and medicinal herbs, but it also shows a plump density and a velvety texture. Filippo Chia and his team have created a highly attractive Brunello for medium to long drinking. SUPERIORE.DE

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2020
Sandro Chia's remarkable 2020 vintage is taut, forward and downright bold in the glass. On the palate, it impresses with a lot of natural richness and beautiful opulence of fruit, complemented by varietal elements of wild cherry, blue flowers and soft earth. Secondary flavours of tobacco, cedar and cinnamon then quickly surprise, adding complexity and personality to the wine, which is built up in many deep layers. It has wonderful potential for further ageing in the bottle, but it is already an absolute delight and the quality of the fruit and its length make it irresistible. SUPERIORE.DE

Brunello di Montalcino “Filo di Seta” DOCG 2017
Sandro Chia had the right nose when he bought the very high vineyard that his neighbours actually advised him against. Named after this single vineyard, the famous artist and his son Filippo vinify a wine that is somewhat denser than the normal Annata. The full bouquet has lively notes of dark red cherries, spices, plums and leather. Filo di Seta is racy and lush, yet has a clearly recognisable structure and impresses with its impressive balance. Sweet floral and spicy notes add exciting nuances on the expressive finish. A bold and immensely viral Brunello and a masterpiece every year! SUPERIORE.DE

Brunello di Montalcino “Filo di Seta” DOCG 2018
Filo di Seta is produced in small batches and is an impressive wine. With only 4,000 bottles produced, it reflects the extreme power and depth that can be achieved in this cooler microclimate of Montalcino. The vineyards are located on steep slopes and surrounded by dense forest and vegetation. One cannot help but detect a wild and thorny element in this wine, reminiscent of forest floor, truffles and autumnal foliage. These pretty accents add complexity to the solid core of dark fruit. The powerful mouthfeel is polished and dense. SUPERIORE.DE

Brunello di Montalcino “Filo di Seta” DOCG 2019
Just like the paintings of winemaker and contemporary painter Sandro Chia, his single-vineyard Brunello is full of colours, textures and broad brushstrokes. At first glance, not everything fits together, but then you magically become aware of the symmetry between the elevated fruit flavours and the grounded spice and oak. The different elements of the wine come together harmoniously. Thanks to its gently integrated tannins, it also shows great versatility in terms of its drinking window. Filo di Seta matures for 30 months in oak and represents an ideal link between the top 2019 vintage and its terroir. Great Brunello cinema! SUPERIORE.DE

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2015
If one were to assign a quality to this wine, it would be sincerity. In the sum of its parts, this disarming Super Riserva is not only a wine full of contrasts, but also full of soul. It reflects its terroir, the exceptional 2015 vintage and the clear stylistics of the house in a self-confident and highly credible way. Fruit, alcohol, tannin and also spice are perfectly coordinated and present in very generous quantities. With each glass, the exuberant impressions become more unravelled and a Brunello emerges that, in addition to all its complexity, amiability and persistence, has a personality that secures it a place among the best of this vintage.

Sandro Chia's vineyards have now reached their full potential and the Riserva from the top 2016 vintage is the crowning glory. This year, the winery's consistently clear style and the cool vineyard sites have found a truly perfect unity, which you have to search long and hard to find, even in Montalcino. The richness and generosity of the bouquet is impressive: delicious layers of dark berries, spices, dried herbs and dark chocolate combine to create an intense composition that is rounded off on the palate. Slender and fine on the palate, yet with a subtle opulence that reveals new depths with every sip. The expression and length emphasise the qualities of this truly super Brunello, which completely captivated us. If you have time, wait for the further revelations that bottle ageing will undoubtedly bring! SUPERIORE.DE

The winery has also refined its winemaking style over the years to produce ever more elegant and slender wines. In the terrific2019 Riserva, there is finesse, but also powerful cherry fruit, damp earth, cured tobacco and grilled herbs.

In the exceptional year of 2016, Filippo Chia decided to vinify a Riserva for the first time. The Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino Filo di Seta Riserva comes from a unique vineyard site characterised by a greater presence of slate or slate-like shards in the soils. These conditions contribute to the very typical, sharp and concentrated aromas that are offered here on a silver platter. One automatically thinks of pencil shavings and granite rock. However, the wine is equally impressive when it comes to its rich fruit and floral profile, and there is enough spice and soft leather or tobacco to bring it all together in one happy package.

Even before Sandro Chia became a winemaker, the native Florentine was considered an internationally celebrated artist of Italian postmodernism. The multi-layered nuances of Sangiovese convinced him in the 1980s to move from the studio to the cellar to discover those sensory qualities that make a great Sangiovese wine so unique. With his son Filippo, the now 75-year-old runs the Castello Romitorio winery in one of Tuscany's most important villages.
Acquired in 1984, the manor house in the northwest of Montalcino dates from the 14th century that Sandro patiently had restored down to the smallest detail. When he finally made the estate his residence and art studio, there was no question that the winemaking tradition, which had been dormant for years, should also be given a brilliant revival.
The peculiarity around Castello di Romitorio is the surrounding virgin land, carved out of centuries-old holm oak forests. Here the Sangiovese is cultivated according to careful, biological cultivation methods, which aim at the preservation and improvement of the area. One works primarily towards a natural harmony in the vineyard that allows this demanding grape variety to mature optimally.
"The character of each wine is in the tiny details that distinguish one vineyard from another. Our goal is to bring out the expression of this varied landscape," explains Filippo Chia in conversation. His team specializes in the cultivation of the Sangiovese grape variety in the cool altitudes at 200 to 500 meters, characterized by significant soil variations.
The limestone slate soil found there, called Galestro, is considered one of the most desirable for the production of high-quality Brunello wines. The same is true of the dominant Albarese subsoil, a weathered sandstone of fossil-maritime origin. "Working in the vineyard is like working with people," Sandro tells us. "You start with what is already there, what exists, and you don't try to change it, you just try to improve its unique place in the world."
Following this principle, only the best grapes, after careful thinning and sorting, enter the historic winery to be fermented into silky wines. Subsequently, the precious Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino mature for several months in large oak barrels and French barriques, which by no means set the tone sensorially.
To this day, the Chia family knows how to create classic and very representative wines that make the heart of every Sangiovese lover beat faster. Their quest for excellence impressively expresses the characteristics already present in nature of this particular variety and the diversity of the Tuscan terroir. SUPERIORE.DE
