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.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is impossibly fresh, blending wild strawberries and sweet herbal tones with stone dust and hints of wilted violets. This is a model of purity, soft and round yet focused with ripe wild berry fruits that saturate as saline minerals collect toward the close. It finishes long and staining yet still fresh, leaving a salty flourish and edgy tannins framing the experience." -Eric Guido

Robert Parker

RP 95
"Vintner Riccardo Campinoti says he makes the wines "that I want to drink." The Le Ragnaie house style is classical, prizing transparency and freshness. His 2020 Brunello di Montalcino (with the white label) represents a blend of fruit from across various parcels. The bulk of the blend comes from the vineyards immediately adjacent to the winery at high elevations. It matures in Slavonian oak for 36 months with an extra year in cement. What stands out is the focus and energy of the bouquet with delicate berry and floral notes and even a touch of fresh mint. It boasts a polished texture." -Monica Larner

Decanter

D 93
"This wine is a blend of vineyards in the south-east of Montalcino and in the north, as well as from the high-altitude vineyards of the estate in the centre of the region, and is a panoramic rendition of the Le Ragnaie vintage. It is influenced by the estate's preference for an early harvest, emphasising freshness and a medium-weight frame. Pomegranate is nuanced by rose, tobacco and forest floor. It is light on its feet with an elegant, straightforward backbone and has just the right amount of flesh on its bones."
