Product Overview

"The La Gerla 2019 Brunello di Montalcino has spicy, dried fruit with blackcurrant, pinecone, juniper berry and a hint of medicinal herb or camphor ash. The oak comes through clearly in the form of mulled spice or crushed clove. This Brunello is rather streamlined on the mid-palate, and although there is some mild chalkiness to the tannins, they are almost approachable now. Production is 40,000 bottles." -ML, 12/14/23

"The nose is heavy with citrus and vanilla, while undertones of clove, damp earth and herbs provide balance. On the palate, cherries and berries lift the sweet notes, still wrapped in vanilla and warm citrus, but grippy tannins keep things in check." -DC, 3/1/25

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is wild, opening with a zesty burst of spiced orange and cloves before settling on black cherries and ashen stone. It’s creamy and seductive in feel, with a wave of rich red fruits that easily flow across the palate, guided by juicy acidity. Tension builds through the close as saline minerals mingle with angular tannins, leaving a pleasantly bitter sensation and the mouth watering for more. While some patience will be required, I expect the 2019 to over-deliver after only a few years of cellaring." -EG, Nov/2023

"A ripe style, offering plum, cherry, strawberry and earth flavors. A wide swath of tannins emerges midpalate, leaving a tactile feel on the finish. Best from 2026 through 2039." -BS, 6/30/24
