Le Chiuse Brunello
A small allocation of Montalcino Riserva, held in Commack.
The story behind Le Chiuse
Brunello di Montalcino is Sangiovese grown around the hill town of Montalcino in southern Tuscany, aged longer than most Italian reds before release. Riserva is the stricter tier, held back longer in barrel and bottle, so the wine arrives with more depth and softer edges than a standard Brunello.
Expect dark cherry, dried herb, leather and firm tannin, with bright acidity that keeps it lifted. We stock the Le Chiuse Brunello Riserva 750mL here in Commack, one of just a bottle or two on our shelf.
