Le Chiuse makes Brunello that's hard to put down. This organically farmed Sangiovese from the cradle of Brunello culture shows the style's transparency and tension. Cassis, Rainier cherry, and raspberry are framed by rose, new leather, and Mediterranean herb. White pepper, anise, citrus, and wild fruit layer in on the palate. Taut but refined tannins and bright acidity keep it balanced and energetic. Drinking beautifully now, built to age into the 2030s.

"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino closes up quickly in the glass, earthy and intense, mixing crushed ashen stones, underbrush and hints of moist cedar over dried strawberries. This is round and juicy on the palate, with silken textures, ripe red berry fruits and licorice tones that swirl across a stream of fresh acidity. The 2020 leaves a tinge of sour citrus that makes the mouth water for more even as fine tannins drench the senses in youthful concentration. Aromatically, this is much darker and earth-driven than recent vintages and leaves me craving more freshness." —Eric Guido

"The Le Chiuse 2020 Brunello di Montalcino (made with organic fruit) is a wine that prizes transparency and tension with cassis, Rainier cherry and raspberry coulis. I really love the bold fruit intensity that shines in this wine. To the palate, it offers subtle sweetness contrasted by bright acidity and silky tannins. This is a solid Brunello choice from 2020. Production is 18,800 bottles." —Monica Larner

Decanter

"Among the top wines of the vintage, Le Chiuse was picked on 17 September just before a period of unsettled, rainy weather. It evokes its northern origins within Montalcino unequivocally. Discreet yet precise, the nose suggests balsamic herbs, fennel and rose mixed with autumn leaves. Gracefully midweight, it builds with flavours of rosehip tea and sweet earth wrapped in a chalky texture, with cranberry-esque acidity lending tension. That slight austere edge isn’t characteristic of the vintage, but alludes to the estate’s Riserva, which by the way, they didn't produce in 2020."

"Bright and peppery, this red evokes cherry, eucalyptus, iron and earth flavors, along with flashes of black pepper. Tight and dense with resonant tannins, showing tension on the long, expansive finish. Drink now through 2040. 1,500 cases made, 250 cases imported."

Wine Enthusiast

"The nose sparkles with aromas of cherries, crushed rocks, orange peel and fennel, while the palate has an earthy backbone but also draws liveliness from flavors of cherries, strawberries, raspberries and citrus. Dusty tannins and tingly acid outline a warm, dynamic finish."

"The 2020 Brunello from Le Chiuse is gorgeous, starting with its enticing aromas of forest berry, rose, new leather and Mediterranean herb. Young but already delicious, the palate shows the estate’s hallmark finesse and offers layers of complexity in the making, delivering ripe red cherry, wild raspberry, citrus, white pepper and anise. Taut but extremely refined tannins provide support while fresh acidity keeps it bright, balanced and loaded with energy. Incredible performance. Drink 2029–2040." —Kerin O'Keefe
