September 21, 2023 - A private lunch (Restaurant Domenica, Amsterdam, NL): Energetic, freshness and minerality, beautifully developed rich aromas, perfect balance and weight (13.5% ABV), inimitable Brunello typicity, grippy but fine tannins, spicy depth, long and layered finish. Masculine elegance. On its plateau of maturity, good future.

Pas étonné de voir qu'il s'agit d'un Ragnaie, j'aurais dû y penser avec ce mix de rusticité et de légèreté assez étonnant, le petit côté balsamique bien contrôlé. Pas la cuvée la plus aboutie de ce producteur et c'est difficile d'accès mais j'ai adoré.

July 18, 2019 - This is much richer and more powerful than Le Ragnaie's classic Brunello examples. Great aromatics of ripe red/black fruit with hints of oriental spices. Besides its broadness, this wine has a great sense of finesse that moderates the intensity. Still young, but great potential.

July 6, 2018 - Coming from the south-east of the commune and offering notably more power than other more northerly Ragnaie vineyards. A rich, imposing perfume offering lovely complexity with all the usual floral / cherry / soil notes of Brunello. Unctuous and vibrant palate, long finish. Excellent.
