La Rasina 2006 Il Divasco Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $75
La Rasina has hit a winning formula with Il Divasco. This wine is bold and opulent, with lavish layers of bright fruit, spice, cola and leather. It is one of those Brunellos that seems to have melted chocolate fudge at its core with a round, soft mouthfeel. Impressive intensity and complexity are both there.

La Rasina 2006 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection
- $44
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.

La Rasina 2008 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $56
All the elements of this Brunello work beautifully together. The bouquet is redolent of soft black fruit, plum cake, leather, spice and tobacco and the wine shows thick, velvety concentration in the mouth. The tannins are supple and firm and there’s a touch of bright acidity that is not too sharp or in any way unbalanced.

La Rasina 2001 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $56
Toasted oak at the front with thick berry ripeness and unique layers of aromas that include plum, vanilla, resin and even asphalt. A New World-style wine that should integrate beautifully in a few more years. Imported by Montecastelli Selections.

La Rasina 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $48
A bold, inky-black style that is slightly overdone and a touch overripe. Despite aromas of blackberry preserves, prune and rum cake, this is a strongly masculine wine that puts its savory side first. The close is packed tight with smoked bacon and cured beef aromas. Textured tannins create some astringency on the finish.

La Rasina 2007 Il Divasco Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
- $80
There’s a slightly meaty or stewy quality to this wine that gives it a bold and savory personality. The wine shows slightly jammy notes of cherry and strawberry with touches of leather and tobacco at the back. That overt ripeness seems limited to this vintage of the wine.
