On the palate, it offers a fresh attack with a \u003cstrong\u003eharmonious and complex\u003c\/strong\u003e character. Its structural elegance makes it perfect for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003emeat main courses\u003c\/strong\u003e, flavourful pork dishes, game and cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere does it come from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards grow in the San Lorenzo valley, in Gaiole in Chianti, managed according to sustainable principles. The altitudes, ranging from 460 to 501 metres, and optimal exposures ensure balanced ripening of the grapes. The nature of the \u003cstrong\u003eclay-limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, rich in alberese and galestro, gives the fruit a marked freshness and a fine aromatic definition. The vines come from historic \u003cstrong\u003eBurgundian clones\u003c\/strong\u003e trained using open lyre and espalier systems, fully enhancing the character of this \u003cstrong\u003eTuscan terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is it produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction uses \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e for fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks, with manual pumping over and a thirteen-day maceration on the skins. After malolactic fermentation in steel, which helps refine the flavour balance, the wine matures for twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003efine-grained oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. This ageing process enhances the \u003cstrong\u003evarietal complexity\u003c\/strong\u003e of the grape and encourages a measured and precise evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 2009, \u003cstrong\u003eIl Chiuso\u003c\/strong\u003e is a refined Tuscan expression of \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e crafted by Castello di Ama.
