Le Chiuse Brunello di Montalcino winery

Wine tasting from the barrels

Brunello "Super-Riserva" aged 10 years

Wine Spectator TOP 100 #5 2021

The very first Brunello di Montalcino was created HERE, exactly in this vineyard – Today, 2021, this Brunello is judged by Wine Spectator TOP 100 #5 !!!

Ferruccio Biondi Santi inventor of Sangiovese Grosso clone (Brunello), coded BBS11 after him (Brunello Biondi Santi)

Visit the most historic vineyards in the world, the ones where the original Brunello grape variety was selected and where the mother-vines are STILL the SAME, then enter the cellars where a superior type of Brunello Riserva was conceived, the one aged 10 years instead of 6.

In the cellar with the owner you’ll taste directly from the barrels wines that the public from all over the world will only see in years and you’ll be guided in a vertical tasting of 3 vintages of Brunello only possible here.

Lunch at a classic but “updated” Tuscan restaurant, in a terrace with a breathtaking view over the hills of Montalcino.

Menu has been tailored by the Chef: classic Tuscan but modernized and designed specifically to perfectly match the wines of Le Chiuse and enhance their exceptional characteristics.

DURATION:
Duration on-site (hours. ±1): 4

Your exclusive experience will begin upon arrival at Le Chiuse farm, greeted by the owners Nicolò Magnelli and his son, and now the farm’s oenologist, Lorenzo, whose great-great-grandfather selected the Sangiovese grosso clone later called Brunello.

Walk through the most historic vineyards in the world, where the original Brunello grape variety was selected and where the mother-vines are STILL the SAME, then visit the cellars where a superior type of Brunello Riserva was conceived, the one aged 10 years instead of 6.

This PRIVATE experience includes:

  • Guided tour of the historical vineyards
  • Guided visit of the cellars
  • Guided tasting from barrels
  • Guided vertical tasting of old vintages
  • Full tuscan lunch perfectly paired with Le Chiuse wines

In the cellar with Lorenzo you’ll taste directly from the barrels wines that the public from all over the world will only see in years and you’ll be guided in a vertical tasting of 3 vintages of Brunello only possible here.

Experience the work of these great wine artists from the inside: numbers of bottles produced are truly more by jewelers than by winemakers and they’re booked by enthusiasts and professionals from all over the world years in advance… Brunello di Montalcino 2016 only 13,500 bottles … The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DIECIANNI 2012 just 1,940 bottles.

LE CHIUSE Brunello di Montalcino 2016 *

Pretty strawberry, currant and cherry flavors take center stage in this taut and linear red, flanked by floral, mineral and tobacco notes, with fine balance and intensity on a slim frame. This is ample, yet the refined tannins provide structure. Best from 2024 through 2048. 15,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported. —BS
