This Brunello has fine, upright tannins and a juicy, red cherry fruit with spicy and earthy notes, and a slightly fuller, more open expression with good freshness. That makes it a classic partner for rich meat and mushroom dishes, where the fattiness of the meat rounds off the tannins and makes the wine softer in the mouth. Fresh acidity and good structure also mean that it can follow long-braised and umami-rich dishes without becoming heavy, while a mature hard cheese meets the fruit at eye level. Choose preparations with a bit of fat and a bit of weight, so the wine's energy and terroir have room to shine.

About the wine

From the Fornace vineyard, which is located at about 400 meters altitude and is characterized by calcareous gravel and pebbles. The vineyard name – which can be translated to "oven" – points to a slightly warmer expression than the estate's other Brunelli, but without losing the freshness and precision that characterize Le Ragnaie.

The fruit is red and juicy with cherry at the center, accompanied by spicy and earthy nuances. The expression is slightly fuller and more open, with broader shoulders, yet still with lift, energy, and fine tannins that keep the wine upright and balanced.

It is a Brunello that combines immediacy with structure and aging potential – and that shows a slightly rounder side of Ragnaie's style, without compromising on elegance and terroir.
