Description
What kind of wine it is
Le Chiuse's Rosso di Montalcino is an organic red wine with Denomination of Controlled Origin status, embodying the authenticity of the Tuscan region. Made from Sangiovese Grosso grapes and matured in large barrels, it stands out for its lively, bright ruby colour. The bouquet is marked by intense aromas of wild berries, cherry and morello cherry, enriched with notes of juniper, hibiscus and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it offers a medium, balanced structure, enhanced by soft, supple tannins that lead to a long, flavourful finish, making it ideal to pair with red meats, game and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine is produced in Montalcino, in the province of Siena, at the heart of Tuscany's wine country. The Le Chiuse winery operates on historic land once owned by the Biondi Santi family, following a production philosophy focused on sustainability. The nine hectares of vineyards are cultivated using organic methods, ensuring careful and respectful management of the soil. This attentive approach allows for a pure varietal expression, capable of enhancing the fruit's fragrance and the elegant balsamic nuances typical of Sangiovese Grosso in this particular area.
How it is produced
Production follows meticulous organic practices, aimed at preserving the natural freshness and aromatic integrity of the grapes. After vinification, the wine undergoes one year of maturation in large barrels, a choice intended to respect the original character of the grape variety while ensuring a slow evolution. This time in wood smooths the wine, giving the sip depth and remarkable persistence. To best appreciate its organoleptic qualities, it is recommended to decant for one hour before serving.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1987 within the historic Biondi Santi estates, the Le Chiuse winery embodies the authentic Tuscan winemaking tradition. From nine hectares cultivated using organic and sustainable methods, oenologist Valentino Ciarla creates a wine that reflects a deep respect for the land, with production limited to just forty thousand bottles a year.

Ferruccio’s son Tancredi bequeathed Le Chiuse and two other properties to his daughter Fiorella, urging her never to sell the estate because it was there that the grapes for the famous Brunello Riserva originated. From then on Fiorella leased the farms to her brother Franco, owner of the renowned Il Greppo estate, who cultivated the vineyards and vinified the grapes until 1990. When Fiorella died in 1986, her daughter Simonetta Valiani, who inherited her grandfather Tancredi’s love for the land and passion for wine, began to produce her own Brunello from Le Chiuse. With great dedication, she worked with her husband Nicolò Magnelli and son Lorenzo in restoring the estate buildings and chapel, constructing an underground cellar and planting new vineyards.
