This small but very fine Brunello producer is ideally situated, with vines just below those of Biondi Santi in the southeast of Montalcino, as well as a small vineyard (called Le Chiuse) of Sangiovese vines planted in 1947 to the north of the town.
This delicious, opulent red is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Sangiovese, matured in French or Slavonian oak casks for 24-30 months before release.
The 2021 vintage was excellent in most of Tuscany, producing fine wines of excellent balance and notable finesse.
This has an intense ruby red colour and gentle aromas of cherry, strawberries, roses, sweet spices, vanilla and black pepper. The Sangiovese is full of freshness and in perfect balance with the silky smooth tannins of the Merlot. Very complex, rich yet elegant, with a long finish. A really fine, under the radar “Supertuscan”!
“The Gianni Brunelli Le Chiuse di Sotto 2021 Amor Costante is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Sangiovese (with only 2,333 bottles produced). This wine is a lot of fun with bright cherry, pomegranate and chewy Jolly Rancher candy aromas. That combination adds to the brightness and richness of the mouthfeel. You gotta love this departure from classic Montalcino.” 94/100pts The Wine Advocate
