Le Chiuse

The origin of Le Chiuse winery is very ancient: in the eighteenth century it was part of the Biondi Santi family; in the twentieth century the vineyards, until 1986, were leased by Fiorella Biondi Santi to her brother Franco, the owner of the estate "Il Greppo." On the death of Fiorella in 1986, his daughter Simonetta Valiani decided to start his own business and, with her husband Nicolò Magnelli, began to readjust the farm. He built the cellar, replanted the vineyards and converted to organic. The road was uphill, but it was worth it: the Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino have reached such a finesse that few can match. The decision to produce only two wines, the choice of organic produce, the choice not to follow the fashions of the moment and the decision to keep the prices right: it is what makes this winery unique and special. An extraordinary winery.
