This Brunello is slender and silky-smooth with lively acidity, bright red fruit, and youthful yet elegant tannins rather than heavy oak. It would rather be paired with dishes that have a little richness and structure to meet the tannin, while the fresh acidity cuts through the fat and keeps the palate alive. Choose medium to full-bodied dishes that match the wine's energy without drowning out its finesse, and let the herbal notes of menthol and cedar play up against herbs and mushrooms. The red fruit and rosy tones also suit classic Tuscan dishes and mature cheeses.

About the wine

Vecchie Vigne is from the house's oldest parcel, located right by the estate at about 600 meters altitude. The vineyard was planted in the 1960s and consists of old Sangiovese vines, which yield low outputs and wines with marked structure and natural concentration.

The expression is characterized by a remarkable freshness combined with depth and tension. The wine opens with fresh menthol, cedar, roses, and redcurrants.

The taste is slender and silky with lively acidity and clear red fruit. The tannins are still youthful, and the wine will gain further harmony with some time in the cellar.

It is a Brunello where elegance and energy go hand in hand, and where the altitude and old vines clearly leave their mark.

The wine is vinified in concrete with natural yeast and has aged 36 months in large Slavonian botti, which supports terroir and freshness rather than oak influence.

The production is very limited with only 3,761 bottles, and the result is a Brunello with both great aging potential and classic Le Ragnaie nerve.

Critic reviews

Vinous
More savory than sweet the 2021 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass with nuances of wild strawberry rose petals mint and white smoke. It is lifted and graceful in feel with round textures and pretty red berry fruits elevated by tantalizing acidity.
