Description

Brunello La Gerla is celebrated for its exceptional elegance and alluring aromas—a true testament to its craftsmanship. With an extraordinary aromatic profile, it offers a velvety and soft palate experience that captivates the senses. Before reaching the eager hands of consumers, this exquisite wine is patiently aged in the bottle for a minimum of eight months, ensuring optimal development and refinement.

Behind its excellence lies a meticulous approach, from intense pruning techniques to the deliberate limitation of production to only a select few bunches per plant (50ql/ha). Each grape is painstakingly hand-harvested and meticulously sorted on the selection table, underscoring the estate's unwavering commitment to quality at every step of the winemaking journey.

The nose begins with a shooting star of sweet candied cherry and vanilla before it burns up and leaves behind a dark, savory sky of coffee, old leather and burnt caramel. The sun rises on the palate, with strawberry and blood orange notes joining the resurgent cherry. Compressed tannins and vigorous acidity provide structure.

Classic in the sensory profile alternating notes of strawberries, red prunes, sandalwood, orange peel and coriander. Medium bodied, light tannins and a harmonic, balanced finale of tasty workmanship. Better from 2024.
