Le Ragnaie Rosso di Montalcino 2022

Le Ragnaie Rosso di Montalcino is pure Sangiovese from one of the highest estates in the appellation.

Rosso di Montalcino uses the same grape and the same vineyards as Brunello but requires only a year of ageing instead of five, so it is the earlier-drinking face of the hill rather than a lesser wine. Le Ragnaie sits above the village of Montalcino at 600 metres, among the highest sites in the zone, which slows ripening and keeps the acidity high in a warm part of Tuscany. Riccardo Campinoti bought the property in 2002 and works it without herbicide, fermenting with native yeast and ageing in large Slavonian oak botti rather than barriques.

Serve at 16 to 17 degrees with pasta al ragù, grilled steak or pecorino. Drink over the next six years.
