Dark fruit flavors of black cherry, blackberry and plum mark this fluid yet dense red, whose dusty tannins leave a solid grip on the menthol- and mineral-infused finish, which shows fine length. The lasting impression is ripe fruit, so give this time to knit together. Best from 2029 through 2048. 1,666 cases made, 416 cases imported.

The 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino Vigna La Casa is a medium ruby red color and is spicy and inviting on the nose with aromas of cigar box, baked cherries, red plum, leather, and forest earth. It’s full-bodied but remains light on its feet, offering plush, velvety tannins, refreshing acidity, and good length with ripe red fruit shining through, but a pure finish. Drink 2026-2045.

The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino La Casa is perfumed and spicy in the glass; ground cloves mix with cedar shavings, dusty earth and black cherries. It displays textures of pure silk alongside cooling acidity and polished red and black fruits. The balance is exceptional. This 2021 finishes with sweet tannins, a plum skin resonance and exceptional length. La Casa has flown under the radar for many years, and the 2021 makes for an excellent introduction to its capabilities.

A smoky and spicy wine with aromas of graphite, ripe red cherries, dried flowers and mint. Full-bodied, it shows velvety tannins, crisp acidity and an elegant, woven finish. Best from 2028.
