Monte dei Ragni,
Ready, but will improve,
Monte dei Ragni is a tiny jewel of a Valpolicella wine estate perched at between 250 and 350 metres above sea-level on the vertiginous slopes above Fumane, at the heart of the Valpolicella Classico zone. Only 1,200 bottles of their Amarone are produced.
As with Monte dei Ragni’s Ripasso, the production of this classically proportioned Amarone is very limited (only around 1,900 bottles were made). The fruit is bright and intense on the nose and palate, with plum pudding and mocha richness layered with dried figs and macerated cherry. The mid-palate is plump and the finish is generous. Drink now to 2027.

Monte dei Ragni,
Ready, but will keep,
More savoury and with licorice and blueberry notes, Zeno’s Amarone seems to achieve the impossible by being full, yet so lacy, fineboned and ethereal all at the same time! This is no bruiser though, quite the opposite in fact. It is a small-voiced companion who is not out to impress, just to make you happy. A wine that flies in the face of the conventional, fullthrottle wines of its neighbours, it is just a beautiful wine that happens to be called ‘Amarone’.

Monte dei Ragni,
Drink now,
2008 hails a return to a more classically shaped Ragni Valpolicella wine. The nose is fresh with violet scents, creamy chocolate and kirsch griottines, while the palate remains totally focused and ‘cool’, just like its creator. It is an intense, generously fleshy, yet medium to full bodied wine, with cherry polpa (pulp) notes that are balanced by an almost salty quality, which I sense may derive from the Molinara fruit in the blend.

Azienda Agricola Monte dei Ragni is a tiny jewel of a Valpolicella wine estate perched at between 250 - 350 metres above sea level on the vertiginous slopes above Fumane at the heart of the Valpolicella Classico zone.
Only 2 hectares of the total 8 available are planted with a view to making wine; part pergola, part guyot. Production is circa 3000 bts of the Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso and 1200 bts of the Amarone. The remaining 6ha of fruit is currently sold off.
Zeno Zignoli married into the Ragno family and then spent eight years preparing the ground, with the aide of a horse, before releasing his first wine with vintage 2003. Vinification is entirely in oak, predominantly used tonneau.
