Az. Agr. Rasa di Andrea Mantengoli
Owned by the Tuscan
Mantengoli family since 1933, the 50 ha Rasa Montalcino
estate (of which 9 are vineyards) was brought to life in 1988 with the
completion of a new winery. More recently La Serena has become the
responsibility of son Andrea, an architect by training, and his wife
Elisabetta.
Situated on the north-eastern slopes of the Montalcino zone the fruit is vinified in conjunction with wine consultant Paolo Caciorgna. Stylistically they represent a more modern, lush, earlier drinking expression of Brunello di Montalcino, combining a relatively short, selected yeast ferment, followed by maturation in French barriques & large slavonian botte.

Yes the 30% French barriques endow the wine with an extra ... MORE | ||||

At this point I must confess to being wary of so-called 'flagship' wines, often disappointed by cynical nip and tuck wines in ... MORE | ||||
