Le Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino 750ml

Discover Le Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino, a standout red from Italy's Tuscany region, crafted at one of the appellation's most elevated spots. Riccardo and Jennifer Campinoti took ownership of this Montalcino estate in 2003, blending venerable old vines with newer ones across 42 acres of organically tended land split into three separate areas. Perched at the highest elevations in Montalcino—some surpassing the DOCG's 1,960-foot threshold—these vineyards carry a legacy tied to birdcatchers, echoed in the label's depiction of a classic net. The name Ragnaie draws from Etruscan roots, evoking a spiderweb much like those hunting nets of old.

This Brunello draws from three distinct sites featuring vines as old as 80 years, yielding a refined wine that captures the 2015 vintage's ample character with poise. Expect a graceful structure highlighting vivid cherry and raspberry notes, delivered through a full, succulent body. Firm yet harmonious tannins provide grip and extend through a sleek frame, culminating in an enduring close. The warmth of 13.5% ABV in this 750 ml bottle underscores its approachability right now, while promising further development.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awards it 93 points, praising its commanding depth and range—from wild cherry to hints of blue flowers, spice, and earth—making it a quintessential Brunello with broad appeal. Sourced across varied parts of the appellation, it reflects the season's vibrant fruit and gentler edges, ideal for immediate enjoyment or cellaring over the next several years.

Elevate your collection with this Tuscan gem, where altitude and heritage converge in every sip. Perfect for those seeking a sophisticated red that balances power and finesse, Le Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino delivers the essence of Montalcino's rugged heights in a bottle ready to impress at your table.
