The story
The vineyards have belonged to the Mantengoli family since the early 20th century. Production under the La Serena label began in the late 1980s, when the younger family members developed the estate as a producer of Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino. Over the years the estate has expanded its vineyard area and established a production focused on the local Sangiovese. The winery has recently joined the Federazione Italiana Vignaioli Indipendenti.
Production philosophy
The estate adopts an approach rooted in respect for the soil and minimal intervention: vineyards are managed according to organic principles and winery practices are focused on sustainability. The emphasis is on expressing the terroir and on meticulous care from vine to bottle.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in Montalcino, the vineyards are planted on tuff-, marl-, clay- and sand-rich soils on slopes with a wide range of elevations; some descriptions report an elevation of around 400 m above sea level and well-drained soils that promote the expression of the local Sangiovese.
