his red combines cherry, strawberry, tobacco, leather, iron and wild thyme and sage flavors, backed by compact tannins and bright acidity. Will take a few years to unpack, but this finds equilibrium in the end. Exhibits a ton of grip. A textbook Brunello. Best from 2021 through 2035. 250 cases made.
Aromas of sweet tobacco, hints of coffee and cherry notes follow through to a medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh finish. Needs time to soften. Better in 2019 when the tannins soften.
The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Ragnaie V V represents a clear step up in terms of intensity and complexity next to the Brunello annata. This expression shows more bulk and muscle compared to the base wine. Its appearance is darkly saturated and rich. The nose shows a thick patchwork of dark cherry, plum, spice, leather and grilled herb aromas. The mouthfeel is round, supple and soft initially, but tends to show some thinness on the mid-palate. This is a common characteristic among wines from this vintage.
