Brunello di Montalcino Casanovina Montosoli is one of those wines where you know you are in for an experience as soon as you smell the glass. Dark berries and cherries are followed by roasted nuts, gravel and slate. It is remarkably fresh and light on the palate, but also rich and exotic, with a silky texture that is layered with tart wild berries, savoury herbs and a hint of balsamic spice over a medium-bodied palate. Inner roses, violets, lavender and tart citrus - this wine is remarkably layered and has an unseen depth. The balance between lively acidity and increasing tannin keeps the experience alive. With only 3,800 bottles produced each year, Riccardo Campinoti creates a cru here that not only represents the individuality of Le Ragnaie wines perfectly, but is also hard to beat in terms of elegance and finesse.

"Finely chiselled berry nose with delicate notes of violets and undergrowth; juicy texture, the tannins and acidity in balance, polish and elegance through to the final. A successful interpretation of the Montosoli terroir." Vinum

"The Brunello di Montalcino Casanovina Montosoli 2020 opens with a seductive bouquet that blends mentholated herbs and a hint of camphor with crushed blackberries and a hint of sour citrus. It is round and supple, with dark red fruits and sweet herbal notes accompanied by a fresh acidity. The fine tannins remain, but it retains a fantastic freshness and finishes long with a lingering aftertaste of liquorice and tart blackberries." Vinous

"The Casanovina, which lies just below Baricci's estates on the revered hill of Montosoli, was the first of Le Ragnaie's widely scattered parcels to be harvested on 9 September. Incredibly beautiful, with violets, thyme flowers, a hint of truffle and an undeniable stony minerality. On the palate, it unfolds with small red forest berries that are sweet and tangy at the same time. The tannins are on point - firm and tight-knit, giving them tautness and energy." Decanter

"Le Ragnaie 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Casanovina Montosoli comes from a famous vineyard on the northern side of the appellation at an altitude of 300 metres. Montosoli is characterised by very special slate-galestro clay soils that are brittle and friable. These conditions lead to extremely concentrated aromatic characteristics of wet stone, blue flowers and blood orange. The note of violet or lavender is exceptional. The wine finishes on a savoury note and the powerful tannic bite should not be underestimated." Wine Advocate
