La Gerla

La Gerla's highly charming Brunello from the dream year 2015 shines in a wonderfully intense ruby red. A dense and at the same time clear cherry nose, underlaid with blackberry, on the palate it seriously displays its great elegance, underpinned by polished tannin, which leads into an almost endlessly long finish.

"Intriguing bouquet with notes of cherries and herbs; excellent structure, acidity and long-lasting tannins in perfect harmony, lots of smoothness and finesse, fresh and expansive at the same time." Vinum

"Lots of raspberry coulis, dried redcurrants and red-plum compote here. The medium-to full-bodied palate has fleshy and succulent appeal with juicy tannins and a fruit-forward finish." James Suckling

"Black cherry and black currant fruit is accented by tobacco, earth and mineral flavors in this sleek yet dense red. Balsamic elements of juniper, thyme and olive add depth as this cruises to a long finish. The potential lies in the excellent length." Wine Spectator

"I tasted the 2015 Brunello di Montalcino after tasting the other samples from La Gerla, and it's amazing how clearly and convincingly that brawny Brunello character comes through. This is a robust and precise wine that shows dark berry fruit, red currant, spice, licorice and grilled herb. I love the way that all that beautiful Sangiovese intensity comes together with immediate focus and clarity." Robert Parker

Deep ruby red, aromas of red berries, cedar wood and some lime zest in the bouquet. Strong, firm body, straight tannins and a subtle acidity that promise him balance, elegant structure and a long life. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense, sparkling garnet red. Very attractive, open nose, with hints of cranberries, blackberries and ripe cherries, graceful play, slightly resinous notes in the background. On the palate it is supple in the beginning, shows beautifully ripe berry fruit, some tobacco, substantial tannin, in the finale a nice play between ripe fruit and sweet enamel". Falstaff

"Striking autumnal sous bois type character here. This is a remarkably suave and supple Brunello Riserva that stands out in the crowd in spite of the classic red fruit character. A silky long finish." James Suckling

"Pipe tobacco, blue flower, plum and dark culinary spice are some of the aromas you'll find on this full-bodied red. The aromas carry over to the firmly structured palate along with dried cherry, orange zest and star anise. Firm fine-grained tannins provide the backbone." Wine Enthusiast

"Here is a dense and meaty Tusan red that flaunts its immediate power, structure and intensity. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva gli Angeli is robust and deep thanks to a generous offering of dark fruit, spice and tar-like aromas. Fruit is carefully selected for this wine, and the grapes are fermented in stainless steel. Post fermentation, the wine goes into large Slavonian oak casks for four years. The finish is soft and supple with sweet berry flavors. This wine has made an impressive jump forward in this vintage." Robert Parker

"Bright red. Pure and very flinty nuances complement aromas and flavors of strawberry-rhubarb and wild berries on the nose and palate. Dense and juicy and boasting a focused, penetrating mouthfeel, this finishes long and clean with a very strong note of licorice. Best classico Brunello from La Gerla in some time."
