Le Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino Casanovina Montosoli 2021 is one of the finest expressions of the legendary Montosoli hill, widely regarded as one of the greatest terroirs in all of Montalcino. Produced by Riccardo Campinoti at Le Ragnaie, this single-vineyard Brunello embodies the estate's commitment to elegance, transparency and the pure expression of Sangiovese.
Le Ragnaie has become one of Montalcino's most admired estates thanks to its focus on altitude, traditional winemaking and terroir precision. Each cru is vinified separately, allowing the unique character of every vineyard site to emerge with remarkable clarity. The result is a portfolio of Brunellos that consistently rank among the most refined and age-worthy wines of Tuscany.
The Casanovina Montosoli vineyard covers approximately one hectare on the historic Montosoli hill, situated at around 300 metres above sea level. Here, a complex combination of galestro, clay and limestone soils creates ideal conditions for producing wines of exceptional finesse, mineral energy and longevity. Limestone plays a particularly important role, contributing to the wine's linear structure, vibrant acidity and distinctive saline character.
The 2021 vintage was fermented with indigenous yeasts and underwent a long maceration before ageing for 42 months in large Slavonian oak botti, following the traditional approach that defines the finest Brunello di Montalcino wines.
The aromatic profile is remarkably detailed and expressive, revealing layers of ripe red cherry, rose petals, cola, clove, sweet spices, Mediterranean herbs and wet stone. On the palate, the wine combines the natural generosity of Sangiovese with extraordinary precision and freshness. Refined mineral and saline nuances add complexity and tension, while perfectly integrated tannins provide structure without weight.
The finish is long, vibrant and profoundly expressive, capturing the unique identity of Montosoli with exceptional clarity and elegance.
Awarded 96 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, the wine was praised for its freshness, precision and unmistakable sense of place, confirming its position among the finest Brunellos of the vintage.
With a production of only approximately 4,400 bottles, Le Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino Casanovina Montosoli 2021 is a highly sought-after collector's wine and a benchmark expression of one of Tuscany's most revered vineyards.
