The 2008 Rapace big, full-bodied wine that needs time to find its focus. Dark fruit, cedar, tobacco and scorched earth are among the notes that emerge in this authoritative, dark wine. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. I would be hard-pressed to name another grower who has made such huge strides in recent years as has Andrea Cortonesi. The artisan tradition of Montalcino is alive and well in this small, no-frills winery, while the wines have never been better.A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including: de Grazia Imports; tel.
