The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG produced by La Serena winery represents an authentic and prestigious expression of the Montalcino region in Tuscany. This wine is known for its robust structure, a characteristic that makes it recognizable and appreciated by enthusiasts around the world.
Exclusively produced with Sangiovese grapes, the Brunello from La Serena, with its ruby red color, is the result of a careful selection of the finest grapes and at least four years of aging, two of which are spent in oak barrels. This maturation process gives the wine a complexity of aromas and flavors, including prominent notes of ripe fruits such as blackberry and cherry, along with hints of tobacco, chocolate, and vanilla from the wood aging.
On the palate, the Brunello di Montalcino La Serena demonstrates a full and harmonious body, with well-integrated tannins and remarkable persistence that underscores its quality and aging potential. The balance between acidity and alcohol is well managed, culminating in a long and pleasant finish.
Ideal for pairing with robust dishes such as grilled red meats, game, and aged cheeses, this wine is also an excellent candidate for further aging in the cellar, capable of evolving magnificently for many years to come.
La Serena winery, with its long tradition and focus on quality, offers with this Brunello a true gem for wine lovers and represents an excellent choice for those seeking a wine capable of delivering a rich and memorable tasting experience.

Cantina La Serena
ToscanaItaliaSince 1988
A Montalcino (Siena) winery run by the Mantengoli family, focused on pure Sangiovese and typical Montalcino wines, with an organic approach to vineyard management.

- Sangiovese
- Brunello di Montalcino produced from 100% Sangiovese.

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.
