2021 Le Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino
94
Vinous
Review Date: 11/2025More savory than sweet, the 2021 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass with nuances of wild strawberry, rose petals, mint and white smoke. It is lifted and graceful in feel, with round textures and pretty red berry fruits elevated by tantalizing acidity. A subtle mineral crunch mingles with delicate tannins as the 2021 echoes with a wild berry resonance. This understated yet beautiful Brunello benefited from the inclusion of juice from both the Fornace and Petroso vineyards. (EG)

Notes
The 2021 Le Ragnaie is a breathtakingly elegant and "high-altitude" expression of Sangiovese, reflecting the tension and poise of a classic vintage. Sourced from some of the highest vineyards in the region, the nose is exceptionally perfumed and lifted, offering scents of wild roses, red cherries, and cassis layered over delicate notes of cedar, wet earth, and stone dust. On the palate, it is silky and vertical, balancing a vibrant acidity with finely polished, powdery tannins and a core of pure red fruit. The finish is long and ethereal, marked by a savory mineral snap and a lingering floral intensity. A sophisticated and "Burgundian" style of Brunello that prizes precision and grace over sheer power.
