The La Gerla 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva gli Angeli is polished and tightly knit with lots of silky inner shine. The fruit shows good primary intensity with dried cherry and cassis, but this Riserva also accommodates some tertiary or aged aromas of spice, leather and tar. Earthy tones, cola and wild rose are folded into this fresh and elegant Sangiovese. There are some smoky oaky tones that are a little aggressive at first, but they do largely subside.

This tightly woven red features notes of milk chocolate and spicy oak wrapped around cherry and currant fruit. Shuts down on the finish now, yet there is vibrant fruit and length. Best from 2025 through 2042. 428 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
