Le Ragnaie’s Brunello di Montalcino Casanovina Montosoli 2015 is a single-vineyard Brunello sourced entirely from the celebrated Montosoli hill in northern Montalcino and made from 100% Sangiovese. The estate, founded in 2003 by Riccardo Campinoti and his wife Jennifer, is known for a traditional approach, including extended aging in large Slavonian oak casks—about 36 months for this wine. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate reports that it was “bottled in April 2019,” released in February 2020, and that “some 3,500 bottles were produced,” underscoring its small-scale nature.

Critically, the 2015 draws excellent, high-consensus reviews, led by two standout 97-point scores. Wine Spectator (97 points) calls it “offering complex aromas of rose, truffle, cherry, leather, iron and licorice,” praising its “terrific balance” and “long, lively aftertaste,” with a drinking window of 2023 to 2045. Vinous reviewer Eric Guido (97 points) describes it as “dark and brooding today,” opening to “mineral-infused black cherry” with “mint leaf,” then widening into “savory herbs and minerals with pretty inner florals.” He emphasizes structure and future potential, concluding, “The 2015 is just a baby today… one of the best wines of the vintage.”

Wine Enthusiast’s Kerin O’Keefe awards 96 points, highlighting classic Brunello savor: “earthy aromas of underbrush, scorched earth, leather and fragrant blue flower,” followed by a palate that’s “chewy and delicious,” with “raspberry jam, baked plum, cocoa and licorice,” finishing on “a hint of dried mint” (drink 2023–2035). James Suckling (95 points) centers on fruit-and-earth richness—“black-cherry and fresh-mushroom character with chocolate undertones”—noting “round, chewy tannins” and advising it’s “better after 2022.”

Overall, Casanovina Montosoli 2015 reads as a firmly structured, mineral-leaning Brunello with depth and aromatic complexity, built to reward patience.
