Brunelli Gianni Le Chiuse di Sotto

Italy Tuscany Montalcino

"Over the last few years, Le Chiuse di Sotto has really dialed up the quality and must now be considered one of the leading estates in Montalcino.” – Antonio Galloni

"These are simply gorgeous, delicious Brunelli made with careful attention and the utmost respect for nature." - Kerin O’Keefe,

Gianni Brunelli purchased Le Chiuse di Sotto in 1987, an estate that had belonged to his father Dino, with 2 hectares of vineyards standing at 250 meters above sea level in the northern part of the region. 

Brunelli replanted most of the vines in 1989, but left untouched a small plot of older holdings dating back to his father’s original 1947 plantings. After Gianni passed away in 2008, his wife Laura, who was already working at the estate, took the reins, along with her brother, Adriano.

A few years ago, the estate expanded with the purchase of the ‘Podernovone’ vineyard, located further south in Montalcino. The 4 hectare property sits at 500 meters above sea level and has a magnificent view of Monte Amiata.

Nowadays Laura Brunelli runs her excellent estate from a perspective of finesse and purity.

The extraordinary 2016 vintage of Brunello got 100 points on Wine Advocate.
