Grapes

100% Sangiovese Grosso, which in Montalcino is called Brunello.

About the Producer

The property is situated on the north-east side of the Montalcino hill, at less than 4 km from the historical village. It consists of approximately 50 hectares dedicated to various agricultural activities; 14.5 hectares are reserved to the cultivation of grapes for Brunello di Montalcino; the property is also well known for its production of high quality olive oil. Owner and hands-on manager of the farm is Marco Mantengoli.

Vineyard

method and produce less than 8 tons of grapes per hectare. Harvest takes place at the end of September / beginning of October and is entirely hand-picked ensuring a careful qualitative selection of grapes.

Brunello di Montalcino "Il DiVasco" is the realization of a decade-long dream of achieving the highest possible expression from the union between the Sangiovese grape and the Montalcino territory. In search of such excellence Marco Mantengoli – the current owner of La Rasina – left no stone unturned, selecting only the best soil on the property, the best rooted cuttings and placing the utmost care in the choice of every material and in the conduction of every single phase of production. The wine is named after Vasco Mantengoli, who first conceived this project and worked indefatigably to bring it to completion.

Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva DiVasco is produced only during vintages characterized by exceptionally favourable conditions, when the selected vineyard can express its highest potential.

Vinification

After a maceration on the skins of about 10 days, the wine ferments in stainless steel during the first 15 days and is frequently pumped-over.

Ageing

At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is first matured in stainless steel and then placed in barriques for 12 months. Subsequently it is moved to large 20-40 hl barrels where it rests for another 12 months. Therefore, as required by the regulations governing the production of Brunello, the wine spends 24 months in wood. After this period, the wine is left to refine in the bottle for a period of 10 months instead of the 4 months normally required for a classic Brunello. This extension is due to the unique characteristics of this product, which requires a longer period of evolution in the bottle.

Tasting Notes

The Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva colour is ruby-red tending to garnet. Densely concentrated, its bouquet is stitched tight with dark fruit, spice and leather as well as sweet notes of pipe and there is a seamless quality that feeds its generous intensity. The robust, extremely ripe palate doles out stewed prune, blackberry jam and liquorice. Firm tannins give it a tightly coiled character that will become more expressive after several years in the cellar.

It is suggested to open the bottle about two hours before sipping the wine.

Analysis

14.5% alcohol vol.

Food Suggestions

Serve Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva with a fine roast leg of lamb with rosemary or “Bistecca alla Fiorentina”, Tuscan-style steak. Also a great match for more rustic dishes such as Tuscan sausages and beans or pappardelle (large pasta strips) with wild boar or hare sauce. All savoury, ripe cheeses.

Serving temperature: 18°C.

Cellar

Best kept over 10-15 years in bottles stored horizontally in cool dark conditions. La Rasina Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva Il Divasco has great ageing potential.
