Brunello di Montalcino Le Chiuse 2020 is a vibrant Sangiovese sourced from the northern slopes of Montalcino, Italy. This vineyard once provided the fruit for the legendary Tuscany estate Biondi-Santi`s Riservas, and today the estate produces wines of remarkable transparency and elegance. The 2020 vintage delivers a bright, energetic profile, where layers of wild red berries and crushed stone meet a delicate floral perfume. Its structural integrity is defined by chalky, precise tannins and a refreshing acidity that carries the fruit through a long, saline finish. Following three years of maturation in large Slavonian oak casks, the liquid has attained a sophisticated balance between its youthful fruit and a budding savoury complexity.

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

A beguiling bouquet of crushed roses, violets and a flourish of exotic spice leads to dried strawberries and wet stone as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass. This opens on the palate with a pretty inner sweetness, displaying textures of pure silk and an unexpected richness that's perfectly offset by tantalizing acidity. While nearly fleshy in feel, the balance within is otherworldly. The 2020 finishes with a staining of grippy tannins offset by a tinge of sour citrus, leaving the senses salivating for more. This possesses the exuberance of the vintage but also the harmony to mature beautifully over the medium term. I tasted the 2020 from two bottles while in Montalcino earlier this year that did not perform anywhere near as well as this bottle did. Lorenzo Magnelli of Le Chiuse explained that the winery had experimented with different corks on 1,000 bottles and noted that those bottles will not be released to the public. The bottle I tasted for this note was finished with the winery's standard corks. Eric Guido1st December 2024

Certified organic (Valoritalia). Bottle number 00149.Mid ruby. Complex cherry-and-raspberry nose with real vigour, perfumed and lifted. Lots of juice and depth of fruit on the palate with beautiful coating tannins streamlining the fruit. Elegant and finely balanced. (WS)
