レ・ラニャイエ
High-altitude elegance and pure, terroir-focused Sangiovese.
Le Ragnaie is a highly acclaimed organic estate in Montalcino, renowned for farming some of the highest-altitude vineyards in the Brunello di Montalcino appellation (200-600m). Owned and run by Riccardo and Jennifer Campinoti since 2002, the estate emphasizes organic farming and minimal intervention in the cellar. By working diverse vineyard sites—from the highest points in Montalcino to lower, warmer plots—Campinoti crafts wines with remarkable tension, acidity, and aromatic complexity, producing several single-vineyard Brunello cuvees in a Burgundy-inspired, terroir-mapping approach.
