The organic Le Chiuse 2023 Rosso di Montalcino shows a distinctly botanical side with pressed flowers and dried garden herbs layered over tart cherry fruit. Fresh and punchy in style, it delivers a lean mouthfeel that emphasizes energy and clarity rather than richness. Fermented in cement with indigenous yeasts, the wine is sourced from eight hectares of vineyards with sandy clay soils in the cooler, northern side of the appellation, a combination that reinforces its brisk, transparent character.
