THE COMPANY
The winery “Le Chiuse” boasts one of the most fascinating stories in all of Montalcino, dating back to the 1700s and closely linked to the history of the Tenuta Il Greppo of Biondi Santi. Le Chiuse was once part of the holdings of the Biondi Santi family, and was brought as a dowry by Maria Tamanti when she married Clemente Santi.
“Le Chiuse”, named so because the vineyard was enclosed and surrounded within the Tenuta. There the first Brunello Riserva Biondi Santi was born. Tancredi Biondi Santi then bequeathed the vineyard to his daughter Fiorella - the very vineyard where the Brunello Riserva was born - with the recommendation never to sell it. Fiorella did not sell but rented it to her brother Franco, owner of the Tenuta Il Greppo. With Fiorella's death in the early '90s, her daughter Simonetta Valiani began to produce the Brunello from this vineyard herself, building an underground cellar and planting new vineyards through mass selections, to maintain the genetic heritage of the old vines.
The estate currently spans a total area of 18 hectares, divided among woods, vineyards, and olive groves, on the north, northeast, and southeast slopes of Montalcino. The vineyards, when combined, cover about eight hectares, all cultivated with the sangiovese grosso variety, and since 2001 have been rigorously managed according to organic farming criteria.
Le Chiuse bottles two Brunello, a base and a Riserva, and a Rosso di Montalcino, in addition to a classic method sparkling wine, the "Stellare". The labels that come from what was once the estate of the Biondi Santi, magically maintain consistently high qualitative standards season after season, in a sort of extraordinary historical continuity that seems impossible to interrupt.
