“Made with certified-organic fruit, the La Rasina 2017 Brunello di Montalcino reveals dark concentration and sweet aromas of blackberry and summer-ripe plum. Generally speaking, vintners in Montalcino did an excellent job in the hot 2017 vintage by producing wines that are not jammy or baked. However, this wine definitely embraces a warm-vintage personality, and it flirts with the denser and softer side of Sangiovese. Oak spice and smoked tones help to flesh out this open and accessible release of 30,000 bottles. This Brunello is ready to go straight out of the gate. 92pts.”
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
“A big and rich Rasina with chocolate, berry and hints of meat. It’s full-bodied with round and juicy tannins and a long finish. Fresh at the end. Different and richer Brunello style from here. Drinkable now, but better in 2023 and onwards. 92pts.”
