The same vineyard-focused expression as the Montosoli magnum, now in classic 750ml format. Le Ragnaie’s Casanovina selection from Montosoli’s northern slopes delivers finesse and floral depth in an accessible bottle size, making this single-vineyard Brunello less of a special-occasion commitment and more of an opportunity to explore terroir nuance in Montalcino’s most elegant corner.

"At first coy, yet with a bit of coaxing, the 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Casanovina Montosoli becomes explosive, blending balsamic-laced black cherries with cedar spice box, incense, dusty earth and spiced citrus rinds. It is a model of balance, with silken textures and depths of polished red berry fruits underscored by crisp mineral tones as a cascade of inner florals swirls throughout. It finishes classically dry and dramatically long, leaving a subtle licorice resonance and tart wild berry concentration. The 2021 is harmony personified and guarantees a brilliant future." —Eric Guido

"The Le Ragnaie 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Casanovina Montosoli (with 4,400 bottles released) comes from a single hectare of vines at 300 meters in elevation on galestro soils with clay and limestone. Aged slowly for 42 months in large Slavonian oak casks, the wine shows a distinct identity within the portfolio, balancing a gentle sweetness typical of Sangiovese with savory nuances of clove, spice and cola. The limestone influence is evident in the wine’s linear shape and freshness, giving it clarity and drive without sacrificing complexity. This is a precise and expressive interpretation that holds its own among the estate’s top crus." —Monica Larner

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.

Viticulture

Hand-harvested.

Ambient yeast fermentation in concrete vats with a 35 day maceration on the skins.

Aging
