Owner and winemaker, Riccardo Campinoti has earned a loyal following for his elegant, terroir-driven wines that are bottled unfiltered and certified organic in the vineyards and cellar.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA stand out in this powerhouse Tuscan wine category, Riccardo’s wines exhibit refinement and finesse by farming some of the highest-altitude vineyards in Montalcino. All his Brunello wines are fermented in concrete with native yeast followed by a long maceration of up to 90 days and three years in large Slavonian oak botti. The estate is dedicated solely to the cultivation of Sangiovese grapes across three unique terroirs to produce a range of Brunello di Montalcino wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Beautifully balanced and featuring delicate flavors of rose, cherry and strawberry, this red is nevertheless solidly built and dense. Iron, tar and wild herb accents add complexity as this ends in a tight grip of dusty tannins. The fruit hangs in there, so be patient. Best from 2029 through 2050. 3,000 cases made.\" 95 - Wine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The Le Ragnaie 2021 Brunello di Montalcino delivers terrific character with an especially lively quality that gives the wine lift, tension and clear verticality. Fermented in cement and aged for 36 months in large Slavonian oak casks, it reflects the estate’s artisanal philosophy, favoring personality and expression over excessive polish. Grilled herb and mint linger on the finish, while the palate remains well balanced, fresh and energetic over a medium- to full-bodied texture. This is a Brunello that may take risks stylistically (and not every vintage is perfect), but it rewards with authenticity and character. This is a release of 35,000 bottles.\"\u0026amp;nbsp; 94 - Wine Advocate \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cspan\u003eA medium red hue introduces the 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino, which opens with rosemary, Mediterranean herbs, ripe cherries, and forest earth. The palate is medium to full-bodied and classic in style, with well-defined tannins, bright acidity, and a long finish that keeps it fresh and balanced in this complete vintage. It’s showing very well today and should drink beautifully over the next 15 years or more. Drink 2026-2041.\" 94 - Jeb Dunnuck.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"More savory than sweet, the 2021 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass with nuances of wild strawberry, rose petals, mint and white smoke. It is lifted and graceful in feel, with round textures and pretty red berry fruits elevated by tantalizing acidity. A subtle mineral crunch mingles with delicate tannins as the 2021 echoes with a wild berry resonance. This understated yet beautiful Brunello benefited from the inclusion of juice from both the Fornace and Petroso vineyards.
