Gianni Brunelli 2015/16 Brunello

Gianni Brunelli returned to Montalcino in 1987 when he repurchased Le Chiuse di Sotto, a property connected with his family’s earlier life. He and Laura expanded the project in the mid-1990s with Podernovone, adding a second vineyard area south of the town. After Gianni’s death, Laura continued to manage the estate and preserve the identity established across the two properties. Sangiovese is the basis of the Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino wines, with the vineyards’ different settings retained in the estate story. The estate records the 1987 return, later expansion and present stewardship without turning romantic narrative into technical fact. The estate's Montalcino work continues through family-held vineyards and Sangiovese wines made under its own name.
