Raccolta: a weekly Italian wine harvested by Craig Camp

Brunello demands respect and extended patience before yielding its pleasures, but fortunately there is another alternative for those seeking to experience the flavors that have made Brunello, along with Barolo, the most famous and collectible of Italy’s great wines.

Nice article.

I like this producer, though I've never had the Rosso. When the '97 Brunello release started, I picked up a bunch of the '96 La Rasina BdM at about $22 bottle. Not a Brunello to age, but over last 2 years drinking very well.

I also quite enjoyed their Brunello. Although surprisingly forward I also think it will age equally surprisingly well. The tannins are very well integrated, but are most definitely there.

La Rasina is making very nice wines.
