Brunello di Montalcino 2012 La Rasina

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (91)

Sangiovese can be very expressive and perfumed in a warm vintage, and you notice that here with the 2012 Brunello di Montalcino. The wine shows added intensity in terms of both bouquet and appearance. This Brunello is dark and richly saturated in color. Bright aromas of ripe cherry and blackberry drive those bold primary aromas. Silky and subdued tannins contribute to the wine's understated texture and mild persistence. The wine ages in oak barrel of various sizes for 25 months. Some 23,000 bottles are produced.

A red with grape, orange peel and floral character on the nose and palate. Full to medium body, silky tannins and a berry and chocolate aftertaste. Delicious.
