Le Chiuse is one of the most historically important vineyards in Montalcino. It is where the first clone of Brunello was ever grown. It is still part of the Biondi Santi family who are credited with the introduction of Brunello two centuries ago. Today Simonetta, Nicolo and son Lorenzo produce some of the most impressive wines from Montalcino.

Organic Le Chiuse have just released their 2015 Brunello Riserva, 10 years after the vintage. 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.

Producer
Le Chiuse sits on the north face of the Montalcino hill, on vineyards that belonged to the Biondi Santi family, the house credited with creating Brunello. Simonetta Valiani, Fiorella Biondi Santi's daughter, and her husband Nicolò Magnelli began bottling under the Le Chiuse name in the early 1990s, and their son Lorenzo has run the cellar since 2006. The estate farms its 100% Sangiovese Grosso (BBS11 clone) organically, certified since 2005, with long ageing in large Slavonian oak.
