Winemaker Notes
Intense, ruby red in color with garnet hues, this very aromatic wine shows violet, prune, pepper, spice and licorice on the nose. Full-bodied, savory with fruit and spices confirmed on this refined palate. Long and silky.
Professional Ratings
-
Wine Spectator
Aromas of iron and graphite lead off, segueing into cherry and strawberry flavors. This is firmly structured and tense, with a long, spice-, tobacco- and leather-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2016 through 2026.
-
Wine Enthusiast
Aromas of mature plum, dark berry, leather and tobacco take shape in the glass. The big, ripe palate offers mature black cherry, cinnamon and anisette alongside round tannins.

Located in North of Montalcino, the Le Chiuse estate lies on the north-east hillside of Montosoli. Le Chiuse played a key role in the vineyard holdings of the legendary Biondi-Santi family since the late 18th Century when they used these vineyards for their Riserva bottling. Handed down, generation to generation the current owner, Simonetta Valiani is the great granddaughter of Ferruccio Biondi-Santi. Simonetta regained full ownership of the property in 1993 when she decided to produce her own wine under the label “Brunello Le Chiuse” with her husband, Nicolò Magnelli and their son, Lorenzo. Until then, the vineyards were rented to her uncle, Franco Biondi-Santi, still used for their Riserva bottling. Together, the family restored the farmhouse buildings, the chapel, built a new underground-cellar and planted new vineyards with traditional methods necessary to produce classically styled Brunello di Montalcino.
