A fresh and aromatic expression of Sangiovese with notes of sweet cherry, rose petals, dusty earth, a touch of balsamic and leather. The acid is bright and tannins chalky but firm, making this the perfect pairing for pasta & focaccia, or enjoy on its own.

The combination of a high elevation and a young, dynamic winemaker makes Le Ragnaie a true breath of fresh air in historic Montalcino. Riccardo and Jennifer Campinoti purchased the property, a mix of old vines and younger plantings, in 2000. The estate spreads across 42 acres, 12 of which surround the cellars of Le Ragnaie. These vines are the highest of any in Montalcino, in an area that became famous for bird-catchers; the traditional bird-catcher’s net is featured on the label. The estate takes its name from the fact that this net looked rather like a spider’s web, or ragna, in Italian.
