Filo di Seta, done up only in concrete eggs, the first vintage being 2010. A clay and Galestro vineyard, ancient soils at 180m just above Montosoli. Aging in 500L barrels of first, second and third usage. Looking for crunch, chew and roll. Two picks, two or three weeks apart and 'you feel the down valley character,' says Filippo Chia. The opposite of high altitude Brunello, 'we call it the campone,' a vineyard that existed going back to the 1700s. A place 'where there are monks there is wine.' Potent by glycerin as viscosity and an intimate connection to sangiovese's chiaroscuro. Drink 2024-2034. Score - 96.
