Gianni Brunelli
Description
REGION: Montalcino, Tuscany
Gianni Brunelli, a man of many interests, established Osteria Le Logge in Siena, one of Italy’s top restaurants (and a favourite to the likes of George Clooney & Sting). In 1987 Gianni returned to Montalcino and purchased Le Chiuse di Sotto, an estate that belonged to his father, Dino. The original 2-hectare vineyard was planted in 1947 and stands at 200 metres above sea level in the northern part of Montalcino, this the source for Gianni’s fabulous Brunello.
