Description
What type of wine is it
Le Ragnaie's Brunello di Montalcino Passo del Lume Spento is a full-bodied red wine from the famous region of Tuscany. Produced within the renowned Brunello di Montalcino denomination, this wine is distinguished by its ruby red colour enriched with elegant garnet reflections. On the nose, it expresses an intense bouquet, dominated by aromas of violet and plum jam, perfectly balanced by deep spicy hints and notes of liquorice. On the palate, it is enveloping and elegant, offering a long persistence that fully reflects its bold character and the care taken in its creation.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the prestigious Montalcino territory, in the heart of Tuscany, an area universally recognised for its ideal viticultural conditions. The vineyards are located in a specific geographical position, where specific altitudes decisively influence the character and quality of the grapes. These geographical peculiarities translate into a profound organoleptic profile, which faithfully expresses the natural and authentic characteristics of the environment of origin.
How it is produced
The vinification of this wine is based on rigorous artisanal production methods, aimed at preserving the authenticity and balance of the harvested fruit. Every stage of the cellar process is followed with extreme care to enhance the aromatic and structural components of the grapes, following processes that aim to highlight the natural elegance of the final product. To allow the wine to oxygenate properly and release its full expressive potential, decanting for one hour is strongly recommended before serving in the glass.

The history of this wine is reflected in the emblematic details that represent it, such as the historical illustration of two figures holding a net enclosed in a golden oval.
