Golden hue in the glass. Flavors of wild lemon, kumquat, lime blossoms, mandarin pith, and apricot skin texturing the slight, saline frame. Taut and bone dry. This is not your typical Tuscan white/ orange-wine, perfect for adventuresome drinkers to seek out.
Le Ragnaie is an Italian wine producer based in Montalcino, Tuscany. The estate is dedicated solely to the cultivation of Sangiovese grapes across three unique terroirs to produce a range of Brunello di Montalcino wines. The 28 hectare (69 acre) Le Ragnaie vineyard is home to the estate's winery and comprises four distinct parcels: Vigna del Lago, Vigna Fonte, Vigna Cappuccini and Vigna Vecchia. This southwest-facing site enjoys some of the highest altitudes in Montalcino, with the vines planted between 1740 and 1970 feet (530 to 600 meters) above sea level. In the winery, cement vats are utilized for the maceration and fermentation process of which can take up to 40 days to complete. Slovenian and Allier oak barrels are sourced for barrel-aging. Le Ragnaie also produce a small selection of Toscana Rosso IGT and Rosso di Montalcino wines.
