Gianni Brunelli Brunello di Montalcino "Le Chiuse di Sotto" 2016 DOCG 0.75l

In the glass, Gianni Brunelli Brunello di Montalcino Le Chiuse di Sotto 2016 DOCG 0.75l presents itself as a red wine of great character, the fruit of a Tuscan terroir steeped in tradition and innovation. The Brunello di Montalcino designation is a promise of longevity and composure, and this bottle embodies that promise thanks to the maturity of the 2016 vintage, which expresses a balance between fruit density and ethereal freshness. Le Chiuse di Sotto, a historic vineyard, offers a rich yet balanced texture, capable of sustaining a long evolution in the bottle.

The history of the Gianni Brunelli company began with a family tradition, a passion for places where time seems to slow down, allowing wine to become a living, tangible substance, free from technological obsession but with an obsessive attention to quality.

The production philosophy focuses on the harmony between vineyard and cellar. The vines are meticulously tended, the harvest is manual and selective, and the vinification emphasizes careful management of temperatures and maceration. The wine is then aged in containers that foster an elegant texture and a precise acidity, elements that allow the wine to mature with balance over time.

Compared to other similar producers, Le Chiuse di Sotto stands out for its expressive clarity: aromas of ripe cherry, black plum and spicy notes intertwine with a subtle minerality and a touch of cocoa, allowing an aromatic texture to emerge that remains clear and never invasive.

On the palate, the structure is present but not overpowering. The tannins are well-polished, the acidity is vibrant without being harsh, and the finish lingers with fruity, spicy, and a subtle mineral note that suggests longevity.

This Brunello occupies a central place in the Gianni Brunelli range: it is not just a wine for aging, but a key to understanding the Montalcino terroir, capable of accompanying structured dishes and lingering on the table.

In line with STELT's positioning, it is a distinctive choice for those who want to invest in an authentic and measured sensorial experience, capable of restoring depth over time.
