Le Ragnaie winery extends over 28 hectres in the county of Montalcino which is located in the Province of Siena. Our land is coltivated with vines and olive groves and we follow the guidelines for\u00a0Organic Agriculture*.
\nOur vineyards are divided into three distinct parcels of land throughout Montalcino which allows us to produce three diverse \u2018terroirs\u2019 of Brunello:<\/p>\n
1. Le Ragnaie:<\/strong>\u00a0Vineyard is located in the central zone of Montalcino. The vines here enjoy the highest elevation of any vineyard in Montalcino.<\/p>\n 2. Petroso<\/strong>:\u00a0Vineyard is located along the Scarnacuoia rd below the village of Montalcino. It is located in one of the oldestwine making zones in the area.<\/p>\n 3. Castelnuovo dell\u2019Abate:<\/strong>\u00a0Vineyard is located in the southern sector of Montalcino in front of the Amiata Mountain.<\/p>\n Our vines are 100% Sangiovese and are worked following the strict guidelines of organic agriculture: we do not use any chemicals with the exception ofa bordeux mixture and powdered sulfur, always staying within the limits set by the guidelines of the biological agriculture association. Le Ragnaie imbottiglia tre Brunello, un base e due 2 cru, Vecchie Vigne e Fornace, oltre al Rosso di Montalcino e un Chianti dei Colli Senesi.<\/p>\n Our cellar is located on Le Ragnaie estate. It has recently been expanded and remodeled and allows us to work in an extremely safe and clean environment. Once the grape bunches are harvested by hand they are destemmed and placed on a vibrating table. This process allows us to eliminate any \u201cbad\u201d grapes, leaves and stems that were not removed in the destemmer. Shading of red fruits, wild herbs and rose petals,licorice and \u00a0tobacco.<\/p>\n Il Brunello di Montalcino de Le Ragnaie si sposa splendidamente con piatti raffinati di cacciagione o carni rosse nobili.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brunello di Montalcino Le Ragnaie 2016 L’Azienda Le RAGNAIE At the Agriturismo Le Ragnaie our guests can find themselves in an atmosphere of total relax and natural beauty.

Vinificazione :<\/h3>\n
\nIt also ensures that any all of the grapes that are made into wine are of the highest quality. The musts are then placed in cement vats to begin the maceration and fermentation process.
\nThey willmremain in these vats for anywhere from 25 to 40 days.
\nNext they are pressed and placed in barrels. We use both 25hl slovenian oak and 2,25hl Allier oak barrels in this process. The length of time that the wine remains in the barrel varies.
\nThe Rosso di Montalcino stays for 9 months in the barrel and we use barrels of various dimensions for this wine.
\nThe Brunello di Montalcino rests for 36-48 months in 25hl Slovanoan Oak Barrels. Next the wine is bottled where it rests in a temperature and humidity controlled environment until it is ready to be put on the market.<\/p>\nTasting Notes:<\/h2>\n
