Gianni Brunelli Rosso di Montalcino DOC

​The Gianni Brunelli Le Chiuse di Sotto winery is divided into two distinct areas situated on different hillsides of Montalcino; Le Chiuse di Sotto and Podernovone vineyards. The very different micro climates of these two areas enable the production of wines with different characteristics, allowing for a considerable variety of final blends. The Brunelli family enjoyed an excellent reputation in Tuscany, although it was not always for their wines. Gianni’s father had once been a winemaker, but had moved into the restaurant business, having sold the family estate. Their restaurant, Osteria Le Logge, in Siena was very successful. Nevertheless Gianni purchased back the family estate in 1988, with further expansion in 1996. Gianni continues in the restaurant as a full time chef, also making the wine, with the help of oenologist Paolo Vagaggini. Although the winemaking approach is traditional, using large Slavonian oak botti, the wines are rich, ripe, fruity, approachable and quite modern.
