La Serena Brunello di Montalcino Gemini Riserva 2012

Colour

Intense and bright ruby red.

Bouquet

Ample and persistent bouquet with elegant hints of fruit, ethereal notes of morello cherry in spirit, suggestions of dried tobacco and complex hints of sweet spices.

Flavour

Velvety, opulent and long tannins, well supported by a crunchy acidity that leaves no doubt about the capacity for long ageing. Juicy, savoury and very mineral finish.

Pairing

Remarkable wine gives the best of itself in combination with red meat and typical Tuscan dishes, game, aged cheeses, wine also for meditation.
