The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Passo del Lume Spento - Le Ragnaie comes from one of the most prestigious and historic areas of the Montalcino appellation, located southeast of the town, in a cru characterized by soils rich in galestro and limestone. The evocative name “Passo del Lume Spento” recalls an enchanting and mysterious place that conveys the purest essence of Sangiovese in the glass. The vines are organically farmed at about 400 meters elevation, where a breezy climate and temperature variations encourage slow, optimal ripening. Le Ragnaie’s production philosophy is based on spontaneous fermentations, gentle extractions, and long aging in large Slavonian oak casks for over 40 months, ensuring a complex and structured wine. Passo del Lume Spento represents the perfect balance between power and finesse, an authentic expression of the territory and Montalcino’s Sangiovese.
