Monica Larner, March 2023 (Vintage 2021)

This wine clocks in with fresh acidity and lots of basic primary fruit. You really bite into fresh cherry and raspberry when you taste the Gianni Brunelli Le Chiuse di Sotto 2021 Rosso di Montalcino. The wine captures the essence of a classic Rosso that is intended for easy-drinking experiences and near-term aging potential. This vintage delivers especially cheerful and vibrant results. Production is 6,620 bottles and 50 magnums.

Split cedar and pine give way to dusty rose and dried black cherries as the darkly alluring 2021 Rosso di Montalcino blossoms in the glass.

The 2021 finishes lightly structured yet still energetic, enlivened by a lingering spiced citrus note. Short-term cellaring is recommended.
