Tasting notes

Released in numbered bottles, the Le Chiuse 2018 Brunello di Montalcino (a certified organic wine with fruit sourced from across six hectares) shows punchy and bright aromas that recall dried grape skins or fermentation aromas. It suggests an open or immediate personality. There is a pleasant rawness or authenticity presented here with black cherry, plum, blue flower, cola and rusty nail. This is a true expression from a warm vintage that delivers mid-weight texture and well-managed tannins. It concludes with a hint of sweet cherry liqueur. I tasted number 192 of 18,300 bottles produced.

About this wine

Le Chiuse makes this Brunello di Montalcino in Tuscany from 100% Sangiovese, grown on the appellation's characteristic galestro and clay soils that give the wine its depth and ageing potential. Brunello di Montalcino DOCG demands lengthy cellar time before release, and the style here reflects that rigour.

Expect a full-bodied red with firm tannin, savoury dried-cherry fruit and a long, structured finish. It suits richly flavoured dishes on board: lamb, beef, game birds, duck or grilled meats, and holds its own against aged and hard cheeses.
