Le Chiuse, one of Montalcino’s top traditional estates, applies the same meticulous care to their Rosso di Montalcino as they do to their Brunello. Sourced from the same high-altitude vineyards, this wine offers a more immediate, youthful expression of Sangiovese while still carrying the estate’s signature depth and elegance. The 2022 vintage, marked by warmth and balance, delivers a Rosso with both vibrant fruit and fine structure.

Juicy red cherry, wild strawberry, and blood orange lead, layered with hints of dried herbs, violets, and subtle spice. The palate is fresh and energetic, with refined tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish that hints at its Brunello pedigree. While approachable now, a year or two in the cellar will add even more complexity. A perfect pairing for Tuscan fare, from pappardelle al ragù to roasted meats, this is a Rosso that punches well above its weight.

Le Chiuse has a perfect pedigree. Their vineyards were key Biondi-Santi holdings since before Ferrucio Biondi-Santi created Brunello di Montalcino. In fact, when Simonetta Valiani (Ferrucio’s great-granddaughter) inherited the land, the vines were rented to her uncle who put the fruit in Biondi-Santi’s Riserva.

Even the fruit has pedigree. It's not just any old Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello’s special and mandatory clone of Sangiovese), but a special clone that Tancredi Biondi-Santi selected for the site (BS 11, if you want the details). And what a site: hillside land between 1,000 and 1,600 feet asl, with complex, rocky soils (lots of marine fossils) separated by clay striations.

Simonetta and family (her son, Lorenzo Magnelli, is the winemaker now) farm this terroir organically. They are even certified. The winemaking is traditional, as you would expect. They harvest by hand, ferment on indigenous yeasts, and age in large Slovenian oak casks.

"The juicy and delicious 2022 Rosso di Montalcino from Le Chiuse is a textbook Rosso. It opens with aromas of ripe dark berry, spice and blue flower while the succulent palate delivers ripe Morello cherry, crushed raspberry, star anise and ground clove. Lithe polished tannins and tangy acidity keep it balanced, bright and accessible."
