Le Ragnaie Rosso di Montalcino 2021

This ‘baby Brunello’ from Riccardo at Le Ragnaie,consistently over delivers and reflects the skill his team has in both the vineyard and winery. His Rosso often scores higher than his neighbour’s Brunello and this is no exception, with 2021 taking 94 points from Wine Advocate:

“The 2021 Rosso di Montalcino is released one year later than its peers after spending two years in Slavonian botte and extra time in cement. That extra year translates into seamless fruit integration. It excels in terms of its balanced freshness, and there are pretty flavors of sour berry and cassis on the silky finish.”

“To be clear, the extremely high quality level of all the wines made at this estate in any given year qualifies Le Ragnaie as one of Montalcino’s top six or seven wine estates. Virtually anything that gets bottled at this winery is a standout wine, and that’s information worth knowing…” Vinous
