LE RAGNAIE Casanovina Montosoli, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

LE RAGNAIE Passo del Lume Spento , Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a deep and vibrant ruby red with aromas of dried red fruits and dried wild herbs. The palate experience is intense with a complex weave of red fruit and spice, a little strawberry and aniseed jam. The palate doesn’t let up for a long time and it’s structural, with the acidity and tannins pointing to a long and steady future. Made with 100% Sangiovese (selected from their oldest vines and only in the best years), the juice is allowed to macerate on skins for 30-35 days and fermented at a controlled temperature followed by spontaneous MLF (malolactic fermentation), both stages in cone-shaped Slavonian oak casks. The wine is then racked off into 10 to 25 hectolitre Slavonian oak casks for a period of around 40 months prior to being bottle-aged for at least 15 months. 'An estate that has been on a roll of late with super-elegant wines.' Antonio Galloni

This Chianti has complexity, elagance but most importantly - a sense of place. The wine has developed a rich garnet hue on account of the bottle age. The nose is robust with flavours of dried cherries, plums and vanilla jumping out of the glass. You get some lovely tertiary flavours on the palate too with leather, mocha and earthiness all enveloped with the acidity of a wine half its age. This can be enjoyed straight away and you will not be disappointed but will also reward some more years of cellaring.

Colour of intense ruby stone with garnet reflexes on the hue. The bouquet is ethereal, intense and complex. On the palate is full-bodied, well structured, elegant and is showing rolling tannins.

On the palate, the wine is bold yet elegant, with a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins. Flavors of black currant, plum, and a touch of spice dance on the tongue, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This vintage perfectly showcases the skill and dedication of Biondi-Santi Montepo in producing exceptional wines.
