The Wine Advocate's Monica Larner has declared "Filippo Chia's Castello Romitorio is on fire. All of his wines are enjoying a well-deserved moment in the spotlight", and having pushed through to the front rank of Montalcino, Castello di Romitorio is arguably Tuscany's most exciting address. When we first brought on Castello di Romitorio we were convinced this was an estate going places and it's a real pleasure to see Filippo and the team achieve the superstar status they deserve.
The 2021 vintage in Tuscany, and particularly in Montalcino, is widely regarded as outstanding for Brunello di Montalcino. A balanced growing season set the tone: a mild spring ensured healthy flowering, summer brought warmth without prolonged extremes, and cooler nights toward harvest preserved acidity and aromatic freshness. Crucially, rainfall arrived at the right moments, avoiding stress and allowing Sangiovese to ripen slowly and evenly. The resulting Brunellos combine ripe, expressive fruit with precision and energy.
What the critics say:
"Cedar spice box mixes with incense, cloves and dried black cherries as the expressive 2021 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass. Elegant with a wildly appealing energy, the 2021 displays masses of ripe wild berry fruits beneath an air of violet inner florals. It finishes with incredible length and concentration, perfectly framed by a coating of sweet tannin. This young, radiant Brunello is sure to have many fans."
