    This Brunello is the most accessible wine in the top-class Le Ragnaie portfolio every year. Elegant and perfumed with floral aromas reminiscent of blue flowers and wild roses. Alongside these delicate tones are cherry, cassis and other classic flavours of Sangiovese. This wine is a blend of fruit from different vineyard sites with high and low altitudes and is a safe bet every year. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Bright and juicy, this red wine shows flavours of cherries, strawberries, flowers and minerals. It is firmly structured and has a crisp texture that unfolds on the tangy finish. It just needs time to integrate." Wine Spectator

    "Spicy herbs, crushed rock, nuances of cedar wood and dried strawberries - all this can be found when the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino opens in the glass. It flows effortlessly across the palate, round and supple, guided by a juicy acidity, with a depth of tart wild berries, contrasted by a pretty inner sweetness. The 2018 builds on purity and finishes incredibly fresh and only slightly tannic, while hints of mint and sour cherry slowly fade. This Brunello, which is already looking very good, only needs a short stay in the cellar to fully develop. Remarkably, all the fruit from Riccardo Campinoti's Fornace vineyard in Castelnuovo dell'Abate was used to support the 2018 Brunello." Vinous

    "The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is delicate and fine with aromas of wild cherry, liquorice, grilled herb and pressed violet. On the palate, it is more powerful with medium concentration, beautiful freshness and silky tannins. The fine tannins stand out here, as does the low alcohol content. In a vintage that has consistently very high alcohol levels, Le Ragnaie is to be congratulated for maintaining a moderate alcohol content of 13.5 %." Wine Advocate

    "On the nose, aromas of soy sauce, stone, pepper, mixed herbs and black plum swirl together to create a savory, salty, cool sensation, like a late fall sea breeze. The palate leans into the tart fruit, with black cherries, blackberries and plum, before a bitter, herbaceous finish. Round, smooth tannins create a silken mouthfeel." Wine Enthusiast
