Le Ragnaie Description
Fornace is Le Ragnaie’s southernmost and warmest vineyard, sitting lower in elevation compared to the estate’s cooler, high-altitude plots. The 2020 vintage brings power and generosity, but winemaker Riccardo Campinoti’s light touch keeps the wine elegant and composed. This is Brunello with presence—layered and textural, but never overdone.
Ripe black cherry, plum skin, and dried rose lead the way, followed by sandalwood, sweet tobacco, and a subtle earthy savoriness. The tannins are fine and polished, giving the wine grip without harshness, and the acidity keeps it lifted and long. It’s a more extroverted side of Le Ragnaie’s lineup—ideal with bistecca, game, or truffle-laced pastas—but it still carries that unmistakable sense of place and restraint. A powerful but graceful Brunello from a standout site.
