Le Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino 2020

95 Points Wine Advocate

Vintner Riccardo Campinoti says he makes the wines "that I want to drink." The Le Ragnaie house style is classical, prizing transparency and freshness. His 2020 Brunello di Montalcino (with the white label) represents a blend of fruit from across various parcels. The bulk of the blend comes from the vineyards immediately adjacent to the winery at high elevations. It matures in Slavonian oak for 36 months with an extra year in cement. What stands out is the focus and energy of the bouquet with delicate berry and floral notes and even a touch of fresh mint. It boasts a polished texture.
