The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Delle Raunate does not have that overt ripeness that you get in the non-single-vineyard Riserva from the same vintage. The quality of fruit is thick and dark, but it falls short of feeling jammy. The personality here is big and bold, so hold your horses. Pressed plum and dried cherry mesh well with spice, tobacco and bitter chocolate. The wine is fermented in tonneaux and aged in oak for four years. Only 2,000 bottles were produced.
