2020 Casa Raia Brunello di Montalcino

Casa Raia Brunello di Montalcino 2020 is a refined expression of one of Tuscany’s most celebrated appellations, offering the depth and structure that have made Brunello a benchmark for age-worthy Italian red wine. Crafted in Montalcino from estate-grown fruit, it reflects both the elegance of Sangiovese and the character of a historic wine region known for long-lived, food-friendly reds.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a deep ruby color with garnet highlights that hint at the wine’s traditional Brunello styling. The nose typically opens with red cherry, dried rose, wild herbs, and subtle earthy notes, with time in the glass bringing out hints of leather, spice, and dried citrus peel. On the palate, it should feel structured and balanced, with firm yet polished tannins, bright acidity, and layers of sour cherry, plum, savory herbs, and mineral depth. As with most quality Brunello, it has the potential to develop beautifully over the years, gaining complexity and softness with cellaring.

Production
Produced in Montalcino, where hillside vineyards and the region’s mix of galestro-rich soils and Mediterranean influence help create wines with freshness, tension, and longevity. Harvesting is typically done by hand to preserve fruit quality, and vinification follows a traditional approach aimed at expressing purity, structure, and terroir-driven character.

Food & Serving
Brunello di Montalcino is a natural match for hearty dishes such as braised beef, roast lamb, wild mushroom risotto, and aged pecorino. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the wine to open fully and soften its tannins.

Producer
Casa Raia is a respected Montalcino producer focused on crafting wines that reflect the elegance and structure of the region. With a commitment to estate expression and quality-driven winemaking, the estate contributes to the reputation of Brunello as one of Italy’s most distinctive and age-worthy red wines.
