"A round, juicy and flavorful red. The nose shows notes of currants, cassis and some sweet spices. It's medium- to full-bodied with fine tannins. Refined texture with control. A lively core of juicy berries at the center meets vivid spices and herbs funneling toward the vibrant finish. Drink or hold."

"The Gianni Brunelli Le Chiuse di Sotto 2021 Amor Costante is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Sangiovese (with only 2,333 bottles produced). This wine is a lot of fun with bright cherry, pomegranate and chewy Jolly Rancher candy aromas. That combination adds to the brightness and richness of the mouthfeel. You gotta love this departure from classic Montalcino."
