Le Ragnaie Miscelone 2018

89POINTS

16^¼/20

Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyThis is the first year Le Ragnaie has produced this "Miscellaneous wine", though blending red and white grapes is certainly part of the traditional Chianti 'recipe'. Miscelone is 60% red grapes (sangiovese and canaiolo) and 40% white grapes (malvasia and trebbiano), sourced from the same vineyard, coharvested and cofermented in concrete, and then aged for 6 months in concrete. This chillable, non-intervention red opens with a wall of reduction that quickly blows off into red cherry, liquorice, leather, and an ample wash of sea salts. Tannins are sandpaper fine and acidity is nervous to a taut, brisk finish. Charmer; chill and drink now and over short term.Tasted: 13 July 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
