Current condition

Good structure, tannic but approachable with air

Le Ragnaie Troncone Toscana is a carefully crafted Tuscan blend; vintages from 2021 have enough structure and acidity for mid-term aging. The wine’s tannins soften and integrate after 5+ years, with peak drinking optimized in the 7-12 year range from vintage.

Food pairing

Pairs well with grilled red meats, game, aged cheeses, mushroom dishes, and hearty pasta with meat sauce.
