Brunello di Montalcino 2021 Le Chiuse

A Brunello di Montalcino from Le Chiuse, made from Sangiovese. The grapes are harvested by hand, fermented in steel tanks with 20 days of skin maceration, then aged for four years in Slavonian oak barrels. The vineyard is associated with the former Biondi-Santi Riserva site and is now run by Simonetta, granddaughter of Ferruccio Biondi-Santi. The wine shows ruby red colour, with aromas of sour cherries, plums, sweet spices, leather, iron and herbaceous notes. On the palate it is a young Brunello, with slightly rough tannins and fairly persistent fruit. It is suggested with game or meat dishes, especially pork roast with prunes.
