Rosso di Montalcino is meant to be drunk young, which makes a decade-old bottle an uncommon thing, and Le Ragnaie's version has the frame to have earned it. Riccardo Campinoti farms the highest vines in Montalcino, with parcels climbing to 600 meters, and that altitude is exactly what preserves the lithe, lifted feel that separates a great Rosso from a thinned-out Brunello. Everything here is traditional to the point of stubbornness: native-yeast fermentation in concrete, long macerations, aging in large neutral Slavonian casks, minimal sulfur, no filtration. 2015 was a warm, generous year in Montalcino, softer and more immediately giving than the cooler vintages around it, and eleven years on the fruit has turned savory and the tannins have fully resolved. Drink it now, and don't feel obliged to decant for long.

"The 2015 Rosso di Montalcino is wonderfully open and expressive. Sweet tobacco, cedar, mint, anise, licorice and dried flowers add nuance to this super-expressive, open-knit Rosso from Le Ragnaie. Perfumed and light on its feet, with terrific persistence, the 2015 has so much to offer." —Antonio Galloni

More about Le Ragnaie

Le Ragnaie is the greatest thing to emerge in Montalcino so far this century. It may be the greatest thing to emerge in Montalcino since the rise of Soldera, with whom they have much in common: an uncompromising adherence to tradition (aging exclusively in large neutral Slavonian oak barrels, ultra-long macerations), natural farming, minimal intervention in the cellar, and excellent terroir. But there is one way in which Le Ragnaie stands apart from Soldera that makes their wines even more extreme: high altitudes. Le Ragnaie farms the highest altitude vines in Brunello di Montalcino! Some vineyards are so high up that they are above Brunello di Montalcino's legal limit of 600 meters.
