i. Biography
Lorenzo Magnelli is manager and winemaker of Le Chiuse in Montalcino, where he is also owner and winemaker. Born in Florence, he was brought into the family business at an early age, giving his work a direct family line rather than a detached professional route. His view of time in wine is plain in one statement: "In my opinion, 2010 is one of the best vintages of the last 10 years, but maybe its best characteristic is its longevity. I mean, 2010 is going to be one of the vintages with the longest life, of course, of the last 10 or 20 years."
