Riccardo Campinoti’s Le Ragnaie has redefined the modern benchmark for Montalcino by embracing the extreme. While many estates in the region chase power and density, Campinoti looks upward, farming some of the highest-elevation vineyards in the appellation—reaching a staggering 600+ meters above sea level. This high-altitude viticulture, combined with strict organic farming and traditional large-cask aging, results in a "Burgundian" expression of Sangiovese: translucent, aromatic, and crackling with mineral energy.

The property spans three distinct micro-terroirs—the high-altitude "Ragnaie" plateau, the warmer sandstone of "Castelnuovo dell’Abate," and the legendary Galestro-rich soils of "Montosoli." This diversity allows Le Ragnaie to produce wines that aren't just Brunello, but precise snapshots of geological time and place. From the accessible, high-energy Troncone to the prestigious single-vineyard Crus, these are wines of profound elegance that honor the "Blood of Jove" with unmatched clarity and finesse.

The "Troncone" Rosso is avibrant and "frisky" introduction to the estate’s high-altitude style, offering crunchy red cherry and pomegranate notes with a stony mineral finish. It’s the ultimate "insider" Sangiovese that provides immediate, high-energy drinking at an unbeatable price.
