Azienda Agricola Le Ragnaie

The Azienda Agricola Le Ragnaie covers an area of 28 hectares in the municipality of Montalcino, the land is cultivated with vineyards and olive groves, following the dictates of Organic farming * , and are located in three distinct areas of the Montalcino district allowing to vinify grapes from three different terroirs:

Le Ragnaie: in the central area of Montalcino, the highest vineyards in the whole area;
Petroso: near the town of Montalcino, one of the oldest wine-growing areas;
Castelnuovo dell’Abate: in the southeastern part of the area in front of Monte Amiata.

Crystal clear and alpine pure, discrete initially but such crisp, vivid red cherry and wild strawberry fruit with a kick of chalk, stone and mineral. Bright, elegant and with crisp but well-knit tannins, this a thrilling, noble wine with a long future. From a single plot called Ragnaie, next to the estate, planted in the 60s, which at 550 metres above sea level, are among the very highest vines in Montalcino. The wine is aged in the same way as the estate’s regular Brunello in large 25hl Slavonian oak barrels for 36 months. Rarely more than 3000 bottles are produced.
