Source copy retained to help verify the exact product; BottlePicker’s analysis above is based on structured identity and price evidence.

A blend of grapes from Le Ragnaie's vineyards, expressing four distinct areas of Montalcino. It ages for 36 months in large Slavonian oak barrels and loyally expresses the trends of each vintage. Beautifully balanced and featuring delicate flavors of rose, cherry and strawberry, this red is nevertheless solidly built and dense. Iron, tar and wild herb accents add complexity as this ends in a tight grip of dusty tannins. The fruit hangs in there, so be patient. A medium red hue introduces the 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino, which opens with rosemary, Mediterranean herbs, ripe cherries, and forest earth. The palate is medium to full-bodied and classic in style, with well-defined tannins, bright acidity, and a long finish that keeps it fresh and balanced in this complete vintage. The Le Ragnaie 2021 Brunello di Montalcino delivers terrific character with an especially lively quality that gives the wine lift, tension and clear verticality. Fermented in cement and aged for 36 months in large Slavonian oak casks, it reflects the estate's artisanal philosophy, favoring personality and expression over excessive polish. Grilled herb and mint linger on the finish, while the palate remains well balanced, fresh and energetic over a medium- to full-bodied texture. This is a Brunello that may take risks stylistically (and not every vintage is perfect), but it rewards with authenticity and character.
