Aged for 30 months in Slavonian oak casks of various size and age and a further 2 years in bottle. This is a big Brunello with aromas of dried black cherry and ripe dark berry fruits. Well-balanced with a velvety texture, a lively acidity and salty mineral tones.
Producer description:
The story began in 1987, when Gianni Brunelli returned to Montalcino and managed to fulfil his dream, buying Le Chiuse di Sotto where his father Dino used to work. Here, he purchased two hectares of vineyard which benefit from a northern exposure, ideal for obtaining wines with a complex bouquet. In later years, he extended his estate with a vineyard in Podernovone. Today, Brother and sister team Laura and Adriano Brunelli bought back their father’s estate and are continuing to produce some stunning Brunellos, a Rosso di Montalcino and some Super-Tuscans.

Kerin O’Keefe | 96
Forest floor, wild rose, Mediterranean scrub, new leather and forest berry aromas take shape on the fragrant 2020 Brunello from Gianni Brunelli. Showing elegance and restraint, the savory palate delivers red cherry, woodland strawberry, truffle and orange zest before a star anise finish. Silky tannins and fresh acidity provide seamless support and balance. Drink 2027–2032.

The Gianni Brunelli Le Chiuse di Sotto 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is balanced, finely textured and shows smooth consistency over the palate. There is a lot of life in this vibrant Brunello. Red and purple fruits segue to sweet earth and iris root. I especially love the mouthfeel achieved here. It's that combination of richness and extreme silkiness that sets it apart.
