Le Ragnaie 2018

The Brunello di Montalcino from the Le Ragnaie winery is a real oenological pearl of the Montacino area, generated by the passion and enthusiasm of the young Riccardo Campinoti, a native of Colle Val d'Elsa and head of the company since 2002. The production scenario is that of the Passo del Lume Spento, or the highest point of the entire Montalcino area, at about 600 meters above sea level: the high altitude of the old vineyards of Le Ragnaie involves postponed harvests respecting the Montalcino standard, in the second mid-October, giving life to wines with a very fine aromatic profile that recall the characteristics of Nordic viticulture.

Brunello di montalcino Le Ragnaie is bright garnet red in the glass, giving the nose an articulated and constantly evolving olfactory profile. The initial notes of marasca cherry in alcohol and blueberry jam open the way to the scents of tobacco, cocoa and oriental woods. Everything is framed in a refined background of humus, graphite, mint and medicinal herbs. In the mouth, the alcoholic enveloping contributes to the substantial achievement of balance, thanks to the ability to tame the important freshness and the still pounding tannin. The result is a long and dynamic tasting.
