    This opens with a pretty garnet color and subtle aromas of spice, crème de cassis, leather and tobacco. The wine shows compact lines with tight structure, bright acidity and a lingering note of smoky ash on the close. The style is traditional, sour and bright.

    The bouquet of this riserva offers a very exotic quality of Christmas spice, rum cake, church incense and cured meat. But there's loads of fresh fruit too, like blackberry, cherry and plum. The mouthfeel is long and polished with a tight and very elegant feel.

    This is a garnet-ruby-colored Brunello with remarkable freshness and pristine berry aromas. Le Chiuse di Sotto would pair beautifully with roasted rabbit or white meat thanks to the polished, elegant feel it imparts on the close.
