The Brunello di Montalcino Magnum Le Chiuse, presented in an elegant wooden box, is a true gem for wine lovers who appreciate a product of exceptional quality. This wine originates from the renowned Tuscany region, specifically from the Montalcino DOCG, famous for its robust and long-lived wines.

Le Chiuse’s Brunello di Montalcino is made entirely from carefully selected Sangiovese grapes, hand-picked from the winery's own vineyards, located in one of Italy's most prestigious wine-producing areas. Aging in oak barrels for at least two years, followed by further refinement in the bottle, gives this wine a formidable structure and a complexity of aromas that make it unmistakable.

Visually, Le Chiuse's Brunello displays a deep ruby red color with slight garnet hues, typical of wines that have undergone extensive aging. On the nose, the bouquet is rich and complex, featuring notes of ripe fruit such as cherry and plum, along with more evolved hints of tobacco, leather, and a slight spiciness from wood aging.

On the palate, the wine is powerful yet balanced, with a lovely freshness and a robust tannic structure that promises excellent aging potential. The finish is long and persistent, with an aftertaste recalling spices and dried fruit.

Due to its elegance and complexity, the Brunello di Montalcino Magnum Le Chiuse is perfect for special occasions, pairing well with rich dishes like roasted red meat, game, or aged cheeses. Besides its undeniable tasting value, the magnum presentation in a wooden box also makes this Brunello an excellent choice as a prestigious gift for any enthusiast of Italian wines.
The winery

Le Chiuse – Winery in Toscana (Montalcino, provincia di Siena)

Discover the story and wines of Le Chiuse.

Wine estate in Montalcino (SI) known for Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino: historic vineyards linked to the Biondi-Santi family, organic production and a traditional approach.
Region: Toscana (Montalcino, provincia di Siena)
Country: Italia
Founded: 1986
Grapes: Sangiovese (clone BBS11)
Historic vineyards formerly owned by the Biondi‑Santi family, the source of the grapes for the Riserve storiche. Sangiovese clone BBS11 as the main grape variety. Conversion to organic viticulture and organic certification since 2005. Winemaking with indigenous yeasts, low yields and aging in Slavonian oak barrels; distinct aging periods for Rosso, Brunello and Riserva. Estate with agritourism located in historic buildings.
Winery history
Le Chiuse is an estate with historical ties to the Biondi‑Santi family; the vineyards were once part of the holdings used for the Riserva Biondi‑Santi. After Fiorella’s death in 1986, Simonetta Valiani began producing and vinifying under her own name, restoring the farm, planting new vineyards and building an underground cellar. Management has remained family‑run, with family members involved in both the estate’s operations and the winemaking.
Production philosophy
Production focused on expressing the terroir and Sangiovese: low-impact viticulture, hand selection of grapes, use of native yeasts, low yields and aging in large Slavonian oak casks. The estate has been certified organic since 2005 and promotes sustainable practices and biodiversity across the property.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in Valdicava, Montalcino on clay‑limestone soils at an approximate elevation of 300–330 m above sea level. The area has long been linked to Brunello production and is characterized by aspects and microclimates favorable to Sangiovese Grosso.
