While many estates in the region chase power and density, Campinoti looks upward, farming some of the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehighest-elevation vineyards in the appellation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—reaching a staggering 600+ meters above sea level. This high-altitude viticulture, combined with strict \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eorganic farming and traditional large-cask aging\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, results in a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Burgundian\" expression of Sangiovese\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: translucent, aromatic, and crackling with mineral energy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \"Montosoli\" Brunello is sourced from what is arguably Montalcino’s most famous \"Grand Cru\" vineyard, this bottling marries Le Ragnaie’s trademark freshness with a velvety, supple power. It is an impeccably drawn wine, offering a complex bouquet of crushed rocks, dark berries, and medicinal herbs that earned it near-perfect scores.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/vinous_240x240.png?v=1769834033\" alt=\"\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e97 Points, Vinous Media:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt first coy, yet with a bit of coaxing, the 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Casanovina Montosoli becomes explosive, blending balsamic-laced black cherries with cedar spice box, incense, dusty earth and spiced citrus rinds. It is a model of balance, with silken textures and depths of polished red berry fruits underscored by crisp mineral tones as a cascade of inner florals swirls throughout. It finishes classically dry and dramatically long, leaving a subtle licorice resonance and tart wild berry concentration. The 2021 is harmony personified and guarantees a brilliant future.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/Le_Ragnaie_Brunello_Collection.jpg?v=1776384852\" alt=\"2021 Le Ragnaie, Brunello di Montalcino “Montosoli”\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45084610560054,"sku":"SOMM2603-LRGN21BRNMONT-750","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2021LeRagnaie_BrunellodiMontalcino_Montosoli.png?v=1774461512","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2021-le-ragnaie-brunello-di-montalcino-montosolisomm2603-lrgn21brnmont-750","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
