Le Ragnaie

Farm & Organic Farming

The farm Le Ragnaie covers an area of 28 hectares in the commune of Montalcino, in the province of Siena. Our lands are cultivated with vineyards and olive groves, following the dictates of organic farming*, and are located in three distinct areas of the Montalcino district, allowing us to vinify grapes from three different terroirs:

The Winery

Our cellar is located at the Ragnaie estate centre, in essential and rational premises that allow us to work in maximum safety and cleanliness.
After the harvest, the grapes are selected on a vibrating sorting table where the best bunches are chosen, allowing us to vinify only quality grapes. The musts are fermented and macerated in concrete vats where, with the help of manual pumping over, they remain from 25 to 90 days. After pressing the wines rest in our cooperage in large Slavonian oak casks
The period of time in oak varies from 12 months for the IGT Troncone, 24 months for the Rosso di Montalcino and 36 months for the Brunellos.
After bottling the wines rest in a temperature and humidity controlled environment until they are put on the market.
