From the esteemed Ragnaie estate in Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino Ragnaie V.V. Le Ragnaie 2015 embodies the essence of high-altitude viticulture. Produced by Riccardo Campinoti, this wine is crafted from Sangiovese vines planted in 1968, situated at nearly 600 metres elevation. The winemaking process involves fermentation in cement vats with extended maceration, followed by a 36-month maturation in large Slavonian oak casks. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, it presents a translucent garnet colour and features aromas of wild strawberries, blood orange, and flinty minerals. This bottling highlights the delicate balance of ethereal aromatics and vibrant acidity characteristic of the Ragnaie plateau.

Vinous
The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino VV shows ripe strawberries with dusty dry soil tones, hints of subtle spice and florals. On the palate, silky textures usher in ripe red berry fruits, with sweet spices and cooling, savory mint, as salty minerality saturates, and zesty acids make the mouth water. The finish is long, taking a turn toward tart red fruits, further accentuated by lingering minerality and a slight structural tug, which promises a beautiful evolution over the medium term. It’s incredibly spicy, grippy, and youthful today, but the V.V. has all the necessary ingredients to be amazing in a few years’ time.Eric Guido1st April 2020
