Description
History
Le Chiuse is located in Montalcino (SI) and works vineyards planted on marly-sandy soils enriched with marine fossils, on north-north-east slopes that facilitate slow ripening and refined aromatic development. The 2020 vintage has been praised for its fruit intensity, lively acidity and fine tannins. Production for this vintage is approximately 18,800 bottles.

Vinification
Hand-harvested grapes. Destemming and gentle crushing followed by fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Maceration lasts about 18-20 days, then ageing in large Slavonian oak casks for about 36 months. Bottled and stored until release.

Tasting notes
Intense ruby red colour. On the nose: red berries (raspberry, red-currant), Rainier cherry, Mediterranean herbs, violet petals and a subtle mineral-saline note. On the palate: vibrant, with silky tannins, bright acidity, full body and a long, harmonious finish. A wine combining personality with finesse.
Food pairings
Excellent with roasted red meats, game, dishes with mushrooms or truffle, and well-aged cheeses. Also perfect for contemplative sipping.
