Le Chiuse
Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese
Sweet smoke and roses give way to cedar spice box and bright cherries as the 2013 Rosso di Montalcino opens up in the glass. This is silky, plush and enveloping with sweet berries and hints of balsamic spice. While resolved, the 2013 remains widely energetic with a very pretty inner sweetness, tapering off long to notes of raspberry and licorice. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2022)

Dark cherries, big minerality. Still very tight. Needs another 5-8 years.

Soft red brick color. Burnt berry on the nose that brightens a bit to a slightly riper plum berry and a bit of buttery clove. Lovely transition as it opens. Soft. Plum, violet, even pear atop the opened up red berry. A little gem.

Feb 27th, 2017Stylish #sangiovese for a song - perfectly extracted pure red fruits, graceful and silky mouthfeel, a bottle that disappears quickly and makes you happy. Le Chiuse should be a household name. Great pedigree, organic farming, old school wine-making, cooler site - what's not to like?
