2018 Le Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino 'Passo Del Lume Spento'

95 points Made with grapes from our highest vineyard – at an altitude of 621m – this wine ages for 36 months in large Slavonian oak barrels. The characteristics of the terroir give the wine unique elegance and freshness. On the nose, aromas of blood orange, black pepper, balsamic and damp soil swirl together before subtler notes of rose petals and mint provide levity and freshness. Strawberry and cherry sweetness on the palate meet more blood orange and a powerful saline streak for a balanced, cohesive feel, before dense tannins usher in a warming finish.
