The Mantengoli family have been prominent growers in Montalcino for three generations. Andrea Mantengoli runs the highly regarded La Serena estate and since 1997 his cousin, Marco Mantengoli, has been the proprietor of La Rasina. The wines have always been quick to sell out, but commercial success has never been Marco's primary motivation: he is driven by a desire to produce wines which express the full potential of sangiovese grosso grown in the unique environment of Montalcino.
