Brunello di Montalcino, Montosoli, 2020

Available Vintages
justerini & brooks tasting note

Luminous ruby cherry fruit with Tuscan dust, earth, violet and dried herb; complex, windswept with a certain inner richness and breadth. The clay soils here bring a richness, delivered with immense character. The Montosoli cru itself moves from north east to south facing, but Le Ragnaie’s plots are solely east facing, producing a happy marriage of richness and freshness. he historic cru of Brunello, the first to be bottled on its own in the 70s, Montosoli is also one of the outstanding vineyards of the region, situated on the north side of Montalcino, planted on limestone and clay soils. Made in the same way as the estate’s other single vineyard wines, aged in large 25hl Slavonian oak barrels for 36 months.

critic reviews

94.5/100Eric Guido,Vinous

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Casanovina Montosoli opens with an alluring bouquet that blends mentholated herbs and hints of camphor with crushed blackberries and a tinge of sour citrus. It's round and supple with dark red fruits and sweet inner herbal tones that ride a stream of fresh acidity. Fine tannins remain, yet the 2020 maintains fantastic freshness, finishing long with a resonance of licorice and tart blackberry that lingers on.

97/100Monica Larner,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The Le Ragnaie 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Casanovina Montosoli (with 4,400 bottles created) comes from a celebrated site on the north side of the appellation at 300 meters in elevation. Montosoli is characterized by very special shale galestro clay soils that are brittle and friable. These conditions result in extremely focused aromatic characteristics of wet stone, blue flower and blood orange. That note of violet or lavender is exceptional. The wine finishes with a salty note, and don't underestimate that firm tannic bite. Only eight Montalcino estates have access to fruit from Montosoli.
