Brandon, in front of the Fine Wine case.
"Definitely start with the 2008 La Rasina Brunello di Montalcino. You get a rich and generous red, offering flavors of dark fruit, coffee,
chocolate and spice with a lengthy finish.
Those deep, dark flavors are inviting and concentrated and the supple
tannins add to the finesse of this approachable Brunello. Decant and enjoy now, or drink over the next several years."
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.
Regularly priced at $51.99, the 2008 La Rasina Brunello di Montalcino is available at Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville and Woodbridge at the Bottle Club price of only $40.99!
