Le Ragnaie Brunello Di Montalcino Passo Delle Lume Spento 21

The 2021 Le Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino "Passo del Lume Spento" is an intensely aromatic, high-altitude expression of Sangiovese. Sourced from a high-elevation vineyard (621 meters), the extreme altitude yields a vibrant, taut, and almost icy sensation on the palate, beautifully balancing its structured tannins. A blossoming, shifting bouquet featuring fresh red fruits (raspberries, wild red cherries), bright citrus, and delicate florals like violets and rose petals. This is underpinned by alpine herbs, pine shavings, and subtle savory minerality. Medium to full-bodied, crisp, and brilliantly focused. Expect a punchy, energetic profile with tart, crunchy fruit, salty contrast, and a nearly wiry tension that keeps it lively. Long, persistent, and polished, featuring fine-grained, youthful, and edgier tannins balanced by a striking vein of refreshing acidity.
