2023 Le Ragnaie “Troncone”, Toscana Rosso, Tuscany, Italy
Bright, energetic, and irresistibly drinkable, the 2023 Troncone from Le Ragnaie offers a pure, high-altitude expression of Sangiovese. Aromas of sour cherry, wild herbs, and blood orange lead into a fresh, medium-bodied palate with vibrant acidity, fine tannins, and a touch of savory earth. It’s a joyful and transparent red that’s as versatile at the table as it is engaging on its own.

ABOUT THE WINE
Troncone is made from 100% Sangiovese grown at 600+ meters above sea level near Montalcino, just outside the Brunello DOCG boundaries. These organically farmed vineyards lie on rocky, calcareous soils, yielding wines of clarity and lift. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts in concrete vats, followed by aging in large neutral oak botti, allowing purity of fruit and terroir to shine.
The 2023 vintage is marked by brightness and aromatic lift—showing notes of red cherry, cranberry, dried thyme, and subtle spice. The palate is light on its feet yet persistent, with a stony backbone and refreshing acidity. It’s unfiltered, unfussy, and deeply expressive of place.
