WINE MAKING PROCESS
Brunello di Montalcino Le Chiuse is produced using 100% Sangiovese grapes. The winemaking process involves fermentation with indigenous yeasts and utilizes thermo-controlled vinification and gravity-fed processing to preserve the wine's phenolic compounds. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes 36 months of aging in large Slavonian botti, followed by 8-12 months of bottle aging before release. The estate has maintained organic certification since 2005 and prioritizes low yields.
