Aromas of bark, dark cherries and flowers, too. It’s medium- to full-bodied with purity of fruit that runs the length of the wine. It goes on for minutes. Very fine tannins. From organically grown grapes. Needs three or...

Wine Spectator, March 2024

There's a fruity side to this red as well as a spicy side, with cherry, strawberry and black pepper flavors throughout. Floral, iron and underbrush accents add depth, yet it's the beam of pure cherry that prevails. Shows...

The Mantengoli family has owned the La Rasa property in Tuscany since 1933, but it wasn’t until 1988 that Andrea Mantengoli and his brother Marcello became involved in the production of high quality Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino wines. Starting at just 1 hectare of vineyard, the first production of their “La Serena” range was only 2,700 bottles of Brunello. This has since been increased to 30,000 bottles as the organic vineyard has been extended to 8.5 hectares.

The grape harvest for La Serena Brunello normally occurs during the first two weeks of October. When alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are complete, a period of 2 years follows during which the wine matures traditional barrels of 20 hl (and 10% in 225 l barriques).

Behold the magnificent 2019 La Serena Brunello di Montalcino, a true gem from the heart of Tuscany, Italy. Crafted from the renowned Sangiovese Grosso grape varietal, this red wine is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the Brunello di Montalcino region.

In the glass, this wine presents a deep, enticing red hue that hints at the complex flavors and aromas that lie within. On the nose, notes of ripe red fruit, earthy undertones, and a hint of spice mingle together to create a captivating bouquet. As the wine dances on the palate, flavors of cherry, plum, leather, and tobacco unfold in a harmonious symphony of taste.

The 2019 La Serena Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of impeccable balance, with well-integrated tannins and a lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a hearty Tuscan meal, this wine is sure to delight even the most discerning of palates.

For aficionados of Italian wines, the 2019 La Serena Brunello di Montalcino is a must-have addition to your collection. Savor the essence of Tuscany with each sip of this exceptional red wine from the esteemed La Serena winery. Cheers to the beauty of Italian winemaking!
