[92+ pts Robert Parker] "The 2013 Rapace is a fantastic wine. The blend used here is mostly Sangiovese with smaller parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

A Merchant's Pick

You may find Super Tuscan Sangiovese blends at this price point, but none will have this quality!
High in the skies of Montalcino soar rare Italian raptors. These birds of prey scour the Tuscan landscape protecting the sacred Brunello vines of Uccelliera.
These are not ordinary vines, they are the same Brunello di Montalcino vines that in years past have produced several Wine Spectator Top 100 wines and earned multiple high-scoring Brunello vintages.
The current release of the 2013 Rapace Super Tuscan blend is our fourth feature of this exclusive and limited Super Tuscan. The quality and consistency of these Brunello-based wines are unmatched - especially at this price point.
Whereas many Super Tuscan producers use younger vines in their blends, Uccelliera uses its select, old vine Brunello grapes in this limited masterpiece, which successfully captures the essence of Montalcino!

(Robert Parker) It is a dark and deeply flavored Super Tuscan which is full bodied with supple tannins and moderate acidity offering loads of dark berry fruit and cedar tones. Seductively smooth, this Italian red blend also displays blackberry, strawberry and mocha flavors that are followed by hints of tobacco with well integrated acidity that leads to a smooth silky finish.
