"The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa takes things to a deeper, darker and earthier place, with underbrush and sous-bois giving way to wild herbs and red currants. It's silky in texture yet salty and savory to the core, delivering mineral-laced woodland berries and smoky notes toward the close. This tapers off with persistence, leaving a staining of primary concentration, along with hints of lavender and blackberries. The 2017 may not have the structural staying power that I typically associate with La Casa, but it is a wonderful expression of vintage and terroir." -Eric Guido

"An intense, muscular red hallmarked by black currant, black cherry, stony mineral and sanguine flavors. Reveals a meaty character midpalate, with sinewy yet refined tannins holding court on the finish. Fine balance and length. Best from 2025 through 2042. 2,500 cases made, 600 cases imported." -Bruce Sanderson

"Aromas of woodland berries, rose and camphor waft out of the glass. The smooth, elegant palate offers ripe Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice and a hint of ground clove. Fine-grained tannins provide gentle support before a rather drying close. Drink through 2027." -Kerin O'Keefe
