The cool vintage of 2008 shaped this wine into something graceful rather than monumental—18 years on and it’s reached perfect drinking equilibrium. Crushed red fruits blend with leather, sweet pipe tobacco, and flowers, while good structure ensures this magnum will continue to evolve. A wine that demonstrates how restraint and finesse age more beautifully than sheer power.

"The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino is impeccable. Freshly cut flowers, mint, sweet red cherries and tobacco all take shape in the glass. A wine of superb detail and nuance, the 2008 impresses for its balance and sheer personality. This mid-weight, utterly gracious wine is a terrific effort from high-toned savory notes resonate on the finish." —Antonio Galloni

More about Le Ragnaie

Le Ragnaie is one of the most exciting estates to emerge in Montalcino this century. Riccardo Campinoti bought some of the highest vineyards around Montalcino in 2002, climbing to 621 meters, high enough that part of the estate once fell outside Brunello's old 600-meter limit. He pairs that altitude with tradition: natural farming, long macerations, minimal intervention and large neutral oak casks instead of barriques. The result is Brunello of rare freshness, perfume and tension.
