Unfortunately, I was unable to obtain a bottle of the 2001 Brunello di Montalcino from Le Chiuse di Sotto - Gianni Brunelli, but luckily I had a bottle of their Riserva in my own cellar that was purchased upon release. The 2001 Brunello Riserva was a selection of fruit from Le Chiuse in the north (about 60%) and the Olmo vineyard in the south (making up the remaining 40%). After crush and fermentation, the wine spent thirty-six months maturing in large neutral barrels, versus the thirty-two months that the Annata spent. While the elevage remains the same today, the blend of the Riserva differs, with 70% coming from Olmo, 20% from Oliva (also in the south), and 10% from Le Chiuse or La Quercia in the north. Refinement, in the vineyards and through vinification, has been the biggest change since 2001 at Le Chiuse di Sotto - Gianni Brunelli. They consider 2000 and 2001 to be a time when warming trends had finally signaled that more attention needed to be paid in the vineyards to help the vines deal with the climate. However, Laura Brunelli explained that many of these changes didn’t take effect until after 2003. In the winery, the processes were made to be more gentle, non-invasive, looking for an ideal balance of pH, alcohol, polyphenols and acidity. In the end, it’s about the purity of Sangiovese, growing the best fruit to communicate an honest expression of each vintage, and trying not to get in the way or alter what the wine has to say. Brunelli added "...now everyone is talking about "elegance"; we would like to simply add balance and naturalness, trying with our work to help Mother Nature to make it happen.”
