Le Ragnaie Brunello Montalcino Passo del Lume Spento 2017

Le Ragnaie’s 2017 Passo del Lume Spento is a single-vineyard Brunello di Montalcino made from Sangiovese, distinguished by its high-altitude origins and poised, savoury character. Brunello has been one of Tuscany’s most celebrated wines since the appellation took shape in the late 19th century; this bottling offers a distinctive expression of Montalcino’s demanding 2017 vintage.

Tasting Notes
Expect a garnet hue, with aromas of red cherry, dried herbs and floral notes alongside hints of spice and earth. The palate brings ripe, concentrated fruit into balance with firm tannins and fresh acidity, finishing with a persistent savoury edge. Its structure should reward time in the glass and further bottle ageing. It can be enjoyed now with decanting, or cellared for several more years to allow the tannins and flavours to knit together.

Production
Passo del Lume Spento is a high-elevation vineyard site in Montalcino, where cooler conditions can help preserve freshness in Sangiovese. The wine is produced under Brunello di Montalcino DOCG rules, which require the wine to be made from Sangiovese and aged before release. Specific harvest and cellar details for this bottling are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C. It pairs well with roast lamb, grilled or braised beef, wild boar ragù and aged hard cheeses. Decant for about an hour before serving, especially if opening the bottle young, to give the wine time to open.

Producer
Le Ragnaie is a Montalcino estate associated with Riccardo Campinoti, who acquired it in 2002. Its vineyards include some of the appellation’s highest sites, and the estate is known for producing site-focused Brunello that highlights the character of Sangiovese and Montalcino’s varied elevations.
