La Rasina Brunello di Montalcino 2021

La Rasina Brunello di Montalcino 2021 is a refined expression of one of Tuscany’s most celebrated appellations, made entirely from Sangiovese grown on the northeastern slopes of Montalcino. Family-owned since the late 1980s, La Rasina combines tradition and youthful energy to craft a Brunello that reflects both heritage and precision.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby red core with elegant garnet highlights as it evolves. The nose is layered and inviting, with aromas of ripe red cherry, plum, dried flowers, spice, and subtle earthy notes that are classic to Brunello di Montalcino. On the palate, it is poised and structured, with bright acidity, firm yet polished tannins, and a long, savoury finish. The Sangiovese fruit brings freshness and definition, while the oak ageing adds depth, spice, and gentle complexity. This is a wine with excellent cellaring potential and will continue to develop beautifully over the next 8–15 years, gaining further nuance and softness.

Production
La Rasina is located in a renovated farmhouse on the northeastern side of Montalcino, surrounded by the rolling hills of Siena, where the site’s exposure and Tuscan terroir help Sangiovese ripen slowly and evenly. The grapes are harvested in September, then undergo around 15 days of maceration before maturation in stainless steel, followed by one year in small oak barrels and another 12 months in large casks, in line with the strict Brunello regulations. After bottling, the wine rests for approximately 15 months before release.

Food & Serving
This Brunello is a natural match for rich Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla fiorentina, pappardelle with wild boar ragù, slow-braised beef, game, and mature cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and if possible decant for 1–2 hours before drinking to allow the aromas and structure to fully open.

Producer
La Rasina is a family-run estate that has focused on winemaking since the late 1980s. Today, the winery is led by Marco, who brings a fresh perspective while building on his father’s decades of experience. The estate is well regarded in Montalcino for producing authentic, terroir-driven Brunello and for preserving local traditions, including the annual harvest celebrations that reflect the cultural importance of the vintage in the region.
