Intense aromas of dried citrus and meat with hints of rose bush and fresh rosemary. Full body with full, velvety tannins and a decadent, rich finish. Fascinating flavors of spice, citrus and meat. Loads of fruit. From biodynamically grown grapes.

Mint and eucalyptus aromas give way to dried cherry and soy flavors in this firmly tannic Brunello. Sweetness and acidity drive the long finish of fruit, spice and mineral. Should be a great bottle in time. Best from 2019 through 2036. 1,700 cases made, 1,000 cases imported

I am absolutely impressed by the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino from La Serena. The style is bold and far-reaching (the alcohol clocks in at 15%) yet the volume is never turned up so high as to drown out the delicate layers of cassis, balsam herb, rosemary and dried tobacco that flutter weightlessly at the back. In addition to the high quality of fruit, the wine exhibits seductive notes of spice, tobacco and dried jerky. This excellent Brunello has not yet started its bottle evolution. Its prime drinking window won't open for another six to ten years so you'll need to be extremely patient.
La Serena 莊園自 1930 年代以來一直屬於 Mantengoli 家族, 1988 年家族最小的兒子 Andrea 和 Marcello 進入了 Mantengoli 家族的釀酒廠,他們才開始釀酒。 最初的一公頃農場現已發展到九公頃,其中大約有六公頃在葡萄藤下,專門用於Sangiovese的Brunello 和Rosso di Montalcino。 Mantengoli 家族還聘請了農藝師 Lucio Maruotti 和釀酒師 Paolo Caciorgna 來提高葡萄品質,Andrea 一直以有機的方式在葡萄園工作,自 2013 年起酒莊的葡萄酒被官方認證,獲得標籤上的“有機葡萄釀製”。由於出色的風土條件和他們對葡萄的關懷、關注和奉獻,將酒莊迅速推向Montalcino生產商的前列。
