The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG V.V. Vigna Vecchia - Le Ragnaie comes from one of the highest and oldest vineyards in the entire appellation, located in the upper part of Montalcino at over 600 meters above sea level. The vines, planted in the 1960s, grow in poor soils composed of galestro and sandstone, which give the wine exceptional elegance and tension. “V.V.” stands for “Vigna Vecchia” (Old Vine), highlighting the estate’s commitment to preserving historic plots capable of expressing a unique and authentic character of Sangiovese. The vineyard is organically farmed, and the winemaking follows a low-intervention, spontaneous fermentation philosophy, with over 40 months of aging in large Slavonian oak casks. This Brunello represents one of the most refined, vertical, and long-lived expressions of Le Ragnaie, where terroir, altitude, and vine age merge in perfect harmony.

Bright ruby red with garnet reflections. The nose is refined and subtle, opening with hints of dried rose petals, wild berries, citrus zest, and forest floor, evolving into spicy and mineral notes. The palate is vibrant and focused, with dense yet fine-grained tannins and a refreshing acidity. The finish is long, saline, and marked by exceptional purity. A deep, elegant wine with remarkable aging potential.
