La Rasa | La Serena

Außergewöhnlich raffinierte Brunello Riserva mit Aromen von dunklen Früchten, getrockneten Blumen, Kaffee und Muskatnuss, aber auch süße, plüschige Noten von Rumkugeln, Tabak und Leder. Kraftvoll und hervorragend strukturiert am Gaumen, lang und samtig mit wunderschöner Ausgewogenheit von Frucht, Säure und Tannin. Sehr vollkommen! SUPERIORE.DE

"La Serena struts its stuff with the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Gemini. This beautiful wine from Andrea Mantengoli is balanced, powerful and generous in terms of its aromatic delivery. The pristine and saturated color of the wine is already an indication of the high quality to follow. A seamless array of aromas includes dark cherry, spice, leather, balsam herb and crushed mineral. What the wine does do successfully is present an integrated bouquet that is finely stitched together. It offers similar smoothness in terms of mouthfeel. This is a great under-the-radar Brunello that needs more bottle aging for sure." Robert Parker

"This is so rich and layered with lots of ripe cherry and wet earth aromas and flavors. Full body, chewy and polished tannins. It lasts for minutes on the palate. Impressive and persistent." James Suckling

Strahlendes Rubin, vibrierende Aromen von dunklen Kirschen, schwarzen Beeren, Kakao und Leder. Im Ansatz fruchtig, saftig und hell, dabei dicht und mit solidem Rückgrat von Säure und Tannin. Dann mächtige dunkle Fruchtaromen, Vielschichtigkeit und eine immense Länge. Ein fulminanter Brunello. SUPERIORE.DE

"So much crushed dark fruit such as raspberries and blueberries. Hints of sandalwood, too. Full-bodied, chewy and powerful with ripe tannins and a flavorful finish. Just a hint of lemon rind." James Suckling

"Dark and deep in appearance, the 2012 Brunello di Montalcino bears many of the hallmark characteristics of the vintage. Sangiovese produced smaller berries and thicker color extraction in this vintage. This Brunello does indeed show more muscle and brawn, but it does so with an impeccable sense of balance and persistence. I cannot but admire this achievement. The quality of fruit is succulent and rich, and there are many pretty aromas of dark cherry, pressed blackberry, underbrush, cola and licorice to earn your admiration. Its textural fortitude is equally admirable." Robert Parker
