Sweet smoke and roses give way to cedar spice box and bright cherries as the 2013 Rosso di Montalcino opens up in the glass. This is silky, plush and enveloping with sweet berries and hints of balsamic spice. While resolved, the 2013 remains widely energetic with a very pretty inner sweetness, tapering off long to notes of raspberry and licorice. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2022)

Dark cherries, big minerality. Still very tight. Needs another 5-8 years.

Bright red fruits with strawberry and roses. Pleasant acidity. Good and pricey. $34 retail.

Homemade Tagliatelle, pigeon sugo, and family. Le Chiuse Rosso Di Montalcino 2013. The acidity from 2013 Rosso corroborates Lorenzo Magnelli's suggestion regarding potential to age, elegance, for Brunello 2013.

Good acid with soft tanins from 18 months in slavonian oak.
Floral aromatic flavored.
Will mature well over next few years

Soft red brick color. Burnt berry on the nose that brightens a bit to a slightly riper plum berry and a bit of buttery clove. Lovely transition as it opens. Soft. Plum, violet, even pear atop the opened up red berry. A little gem.

Bright fruit on the nose and at first sip that then is enveloped in silky almost creamy texture.

Stylish #sangiovese for a song - perfectly extracted pure red fruits, graceful and silky mouthfeel, a bottle that disappears quickly and makes you happy. Le Chiuse should be a household name. Great pedigree, organic farming, old school wine-making, cooler site - what's not to like?
