Brunello di Montalcino from La Rasina is a classic, terroir-focused expression of Sangiovese that reflects the cooler, more ventilated northeastern side of the Montalcino area. Made exclusively from estate-grown Sangiovese, the wine is vinified with a restrained, traditional approach that prioritizes balance, purity and longevity over power.
Aging takes place in oak for an extended period, allowing the wine to develop structure and complexity while preserving varietal clarity. Aromatically, it shows notes of sour cherry, red plum and wild berries, layered with hints of dried herbs, violet, tobacco and subtle earthy nuances.
On the palate, it is firm yet elegant, with fresh acidity, finely grained tannins and a long, savory finish that reflects its hillside origin. The style is precise and transparent, emphasizing freshness and definition rather than heaviness.
La Rasina’s Brunello is built for aging and evolves gracefully over time, gaining depth and harmony. It pairs naturally with red meats, game, slow-cooked dishes and aged cheeses, where its structure and balance come fully into expression.
