Le Ragnaie is a family business located in the hamlet carrying the same name, in the center of the Montalcino area just outside the village. Since 2002 the estate is a project by the Campinoti family, Roberto and Jennifer, who take care of the vineyards and of the bed&breakfast at the same time.
Sangiovese is the only grape cultivated by the Company, due to the structure of the soil, particularly suited for this grape variety.
The vineyards for the property’s Brunello di Montalcino are located at rather high altitudes: 530-600 meters above sea level, with south-west exposure, facing the Tyrrhenian sea. The exposure, combined with organic cultivation and care for biodiversity, give structured wines rich in aromas.
2009 is a particularly controversial vintage in Montalcino due to the irregular quality of the wines. In this difficult year, the Brunello di Montalcino of “Le Ragnaie” has obtained excellent scores from international critics, showing the potential of both the soil and the producer.
An “anomalous” Brunello for the vintage: concentrated, complex, floral. Red fruit, herbs, flowers, spicy notes of liquorice and hint of minerality.
Perfect with a meat or mushroom risotto, or a delicate roasted veal.
16-18 °C
