"Very earthy aromas with sliced meat and foie gras character intertwined with ripe fruit. Full body, with velvety tannins and lots of new wood on the finish. But then the fruit comes out and it's gorgeous. Better in 2015." (02/13)
Product Description:
Winery:
"La Rasina is located on the fine southeastern slope, or morning side of Montalcino in the Brunello DOCG area. Rolling hills with roses climbing over the old walls of the main house create an atmosphere of loving attention in this small family run property. Separate buildings on the estate have been restored for Agri-tourism. There are fewer and fewer of them, but this estate is still a true Montalcino born, family run estate.
La Rasina was founded in the early 1970's by the grandfather of the Mantengoli family, Santi. Later managed by Vasco, his son, and now by Marco, his grandson, the estate shows the dedication and excellence of an endeavor kept in the hands of one hardworking family over many years. Recent recognition given to Marco Mantengoli at La Rasina included top ratings and awards at literally every wine review published on Brunello.
The Il Divasco is dedicated to Vasco, the father of Marco Mantangoli, today's owner of La Rasina, and harvested on the oldest lot of vines right in front of the winery." - Importer
