Clos degli Amodeo Brunello di Montalcino

tasting notes

Clos degli Amodeo opens with a deep ruby hue and an expressive bouquet of dried fig, cherry and candied orange peel, lifted by refreshing hints of mint and wild fennel. On the palate it is juicy and enveloping, layering ripe red fruit with warm citrus tones and subtle dark chocolate nuances, while chalky, earthy tannins provide structure and balance. The finish is long and elegant, combining richness with freshness and revealing a refined complexity that promises excellent aging potential.

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

Clos degli Amodeo is the most recent addition to our Brunello collection, yet it has already distinguished itself as the flagship of our production. Its remarkable balance of finesse, elegance, length, and intensity has earned it a devoted following among international collectors.

Crafted from a single three-hectare parcel adjacent to the historic Castello di Velona, the vineyard benefits from the castle’s natural protection against thermal extremes, creating an ideal microclimate for ripening.

It’s a remarkable wine that comes from a combination of characteristics that are only rarely found: finesse, elegance, complexity, density, intensity, length and freshness. The name Clos degli Amodeo is an homage to Olga’s sons family and to her passion to all the “clos” from Burgundy.

Clos degli Amodeo Brunello di Montalcino 2019

The nose is sweet, dense with dried figs, Luxardo cherries and candied orange peel, lifted by a refreshing blast of mint and wild fennel. The palate leans into berries, abundant sweet, warm citrus and more cherries, before a chocolate finish, but chalky tannins tease out latent earth tones for balance. — Danielle Callegari

Colore rubino violaceo impenetrabile. Si presenta con note di frutti di bosco e more, sapori speziati su più livelli ed un leggero sentore di fieno nel finale. Al palato mostra frutti rossi evidenti, tannini succosi e gripposi ed una persistenza corposa.

Geological data sheet

Nestled at the foot of Castello di Velona, the Clos degli Amodeo vineyard spans just three hectares (seven acres), bordered and crowned by a dense forest of holm oak, mastic, myrtle, heather, cork oak, Turkey oak, hawthorn, sorb tree, and black hornbeam.

 

This woodland plays a vital role in preserving biodiversity: the intricate underground network of tree roots interacts with those of the vines, fostering a balanced and healthy ecosystem. The forest also protects the vineyard by providing shade to the vines and acting as a natural barrier against potential hailstorms.

Geological data sheet

The southwestern side of the Montalcino hill, is much more anthropized, it is easy to find reinassance villas, ancient castles and attended farms. In the heart of this beautiful area, Donna Olga’s four hectars (9,8 acres) producing the single vineyard Brunello di Montalcino Donna Olga, are surrounded by a stunning landscape, dotted by cypress trees, and curated gardens. Standing over the vineyard, Villa Donna Olga welcomes wine lovers, artists but also young people interested in the magical world of wine.

 

It is precisely the geological map developed by the experts appointed by the Consorzio del Brunello that highlights that, while the estates are positioned on two opposite slopes, they originate from a common Sillano formation, rich in calcilutites and argillites bestowing minerality and longevity to the wines of the estates, while the climatic differences between the two slopes allow the Brunellos to differentiate in terms of fruit, structure, and bouquet.
