Le Ragnaie
This Sangiovese comes from 400m, which is the winery's low altitude vineyards. Dense and concentrated, though elegant, with black cherry, black raspberry ruling the plusher palate, shaped with long, fine and firm tannins, and finishing with a dusting of spice and ample salinity. This powerful wine is drinking beautifully now and with time ahead — certainly a different shape and form than their elevated vineyards, but the same family tree and intent.
“The 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino Fornace is a spectacular way to close out the wines of 2020 from Le Ragnaie. Aromatic of grenadine, sweet balsamic herbs, leather, and licorice candies, the palate really sets itself apart, with fine tannins, mouthwatering, salted, ripe orange citrus, iron-rich earth, and a clean, stony, driving finish. Persistent and long, it's going to need another couple of years in cellar. Drink 2027-2047.” - 97+ points, Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com, January 22, 2025
“This wine usually shows a more relaxed character compared to the other bottles in this series of single-vineyard wines from Le Ragnaie. The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Fornace draws its fruit from a vineyard located at 380 meters in elevation not too far from Mastrojanni. The site was once at the bottom of an ancient seabed, and there are round limestone rocks as a result. That theme of "roundness" is transferred to the palate, where the wine offers layers of plush and supple fruit. Like the others, it ages in large oak casks for 3.5 years and is bottled directly from the botte. Only 3,000 bottles were created. In a tasting of his cru wines, Riccardo Campinoti serves this wine last because it delivers a bigger sense of concentration and textural density (while remaining within the transparency of the house style).” - 96 points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
