James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, January 2011

Intense aromas of blueberries, blackberries and fresh mushrooms. Full body, with chewy tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Character goes from minerals to flowers to wet earth. Goes tannic. Need another three to four years of bottle age to open.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2011

The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is a deep, intense wine laced with black cherries, minerals, crushed flowers, and violets. This shows superb polish and elegance all the way through to the textured, expansive finish. La Rasina's Brunello is one of the more opulent wines of the vintage but all of the elements come together quite nicely, especially with some time in the glass. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022.

# 42 on Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 Cellar Selections of 2011; La Rasina offers a beautifully dark and austere expression of Brunello with almost exaggerated intensity. The wine is dense, extracted and velvety with smooth cherry and vanilla backed by a firm tannic backbone. Drink after 2015. - M.L.

About Winery

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.
