Product Notes

Le Ragnaie Rosso di Montalcino is a fine Italian wine that is crafted using primarily Sangiovese grapes. Produced by the Le Ragnaie winery located in the heart of Tuscany, this red wine has a deep ruby color and a complex aroma of ripe berries, cherries, and spices. On the palate, it has a full-bodied, well-balanced flavor that blends together sweet and spicy notes with a layer of tobacco and leather. This wine is aged for a minimum of 6 months in oak barrels, which gives it a smooth, elegant finish. It pairs well with pasta dishes, grilled meats, and aged cheeses. Le Ragnaie Rosso di Montalcino is a perfect choice for wine lovers who appreciate the rich, earthy flavors of classic Italian wines.

Tasting Notes

The 2019 betrays ripe aromatic red and black berries on the nose, with some deep camphor and spices notes, floral with very fine sweet tannin - a wine with an engaging personality and more character and interest that you might expect at this level.
