Producer Le Ragnaie

TUSCANY

The Azienda Agricola Le Ragnaie is located in the municipality of Montalcino, in the province of Siena.The company has been led by Riccardo and Jennifer Campinoti since 2002 who, together with their precious collaborators, cultivate about 28 hectares of land with vineyards and olive groves following the dictates of organic farming. The vineyards, grown exclusively in Sangiovese, are divided into three distinct plots, all located along the slopes of the hill on which the company stands. The vineyard of the same name called "Le Ragnaie" is the highest in the central area of ​​Montalcino, and consists of vines ranging from five to forty years of age. Then we find the small "Petroso" vineyard, extending over an area of ​​about one hectare, and located close to the town of Montalcino. Lastly, "" Castelnuovo dell'Abate "", located in the southern area, along the slope overlooking Monte Amiata. After the harvest, the grapes are selected so that only the best bunches are chosen. The musts are fermented and macerated in concrete vats where, with the help of manual pumping over, they remain from 25 to 40 days. After pressing, the wines rest in the barrel in barrels ranging from 25 hl, in Slavonian oak, to 2.25 hl, in Allier oak. Aging takes place in large Slavonian oak barrels, and continues according to the type of wine to be obtained.
