Brunello di Montalcino Filo di Seta Riserva comes from a unique vineyard site that is characterised by a greater presence of slate or slate-like shards in the soil. These conditions contribute to the very typical, pungent and concentrated flavours 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.

"Bright, shiny ruby red colour. Very fine and subtle on the nose, noble potpourri of precious wood, coconut flakes, graphite, dark berries, iron, after a little time and air of wild strawberries. On the palate with polished tannins, creamy, juicy nerve, savoury, complex and long, can still age, already great now!" Falstaff

"An elegant style, with vivid acidity and a line of fine-grained tannins lending support for the strawberry, cherry, mineral and woodsy underbrush flavors. Firms up on the finish, where the lacy texture gives way to crisp tannins. There's plenty of structure, but this is more about finesse." Wine Spectator

"The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Filo di Seta 2019 blossoms in the glass as crushed ash stones and grated sage meet dried orange peel, a hint of smoke and dried black cherries. It floods the palate with silky textures and ripe, citrus-infused wild berry flavours, while tactile mineral tones give it grip. The cooling acidity gives the wine a light and graceful touch. A hint of lavender lingers over the rich, tart red berry flavours as it tapers with remarkable length - powerful yet wonderfully fresh." Vinous

"A striking and intense example, the second Riserva from the estate's Filo di Seta vineyard opens with cloves, sarsaparilla and candied orange zest. The ageing in (mostly used) tonneaux gives it subtle toasted and incense accents. The wine is broad and expansive, with wet leaves and porcini mushrooms balancing the sweetness of the fruit. The acidity is also pleasant. The texture is very suede-like, with a crisp tannin finish that fades with zesty citrus." Decanter

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Filo di Seta offers savoury barbecue spices, tarry smoke and black fruits over a full-bodied, powerful texture. However, this brooding darkness hides a complex and modern wine that remains fluid in the glass as it alternates between different fruit and oak flavours. It shows gently polished edges over a firm backbone of chalky tannins." Wine Advocate
