Log in / Sign up La Serena Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Gemini Riserva 2016
Gemini is both a cru and a reserve, born from the bunches of our best vineyards, planted in 1993. The vineyards surround our cellar and their production is about 60 ql per hectare. The grapes are harvested manually at the beginning of October after destemming fermentation begins. Our Gemini has the privilege of fermenting and maturing inside truncated conical vats of about 70 hl dedicated to him. In the same vat, we follow the alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation, and finally aging, as long as needed and generally never less than 36 months.
Meat dishes and aged cheeses
Intense and bright ruby red colour, ample and persistent bouquet with elegant hints of fruit, ethereal notes of morello cherry in alcohol, suggestions of dried tobacco, and complex hints of sweet spices. Velvety, opulent, and long tannins, well supported by a crunchy acidity that leaves no doubt about the ability of long aging. Juicy, savoury, and very mineral finish, characterized by endless gustatory energy, which stimulates salivation and recalls important meat-based foods, with which the association of this Reserve can reach perfection. Wine with a strong personality.
