This Brunello is bold and savory with red fruit, floral notes and a distinct minerality, while the finish is taut with youthful tannins and fresh acidity. That's why it thrives with juicy meat, where fat and protein soften the young tannins, while the acidity cuts through the richness and keeps it all fresh. The elegant, airy profile means you shouldn't choose the very heaviest dishes, but rather dishes with good flavor and suitable body. Minerality and a lightly smoked character play nicely against grilled and braised meat as well as aged cheese.

About the wine

Passo del Lume Spento is the house's newest parcel and at the same time the highest located Brunello plot in all of Montalcino, at a full 621 meters above sea level. The vineyard was first approved for Brunello in 2017, and here the Sangiovese vines are unconventionally planted in goblet form, growing freely without trellising.

The height and open growth form give a particularly elegant and airy expression, with red, fresh fruit, floral notes, and a light, almost "uninhibited" feel, which distinguishes the wine from Ragnaie's other Brunellos. There is a discreet natural wine tension in the expression, without the wine losing purity or structure.

2021 opens with spicy herbs, forest berries, pine. The expression is distinct and salty with red fruit, floral tones, and a clear minerality. The finish is tight and energetic with youthful tannins and fresh acidity.

It is an intense and characterful Brunello.

As always at Le Ragnaie, the wine is fermented with natural yeast in concrete and aged 36 months in large Slavonian botti. The result is an extremely fine and upright Brunello with clarity, energy, and great aging potential. The production is very limited.
