Reviewed December 2025Ripe woodland berry, blue flower, botanical herb and eucalyptus aromas lift out of the glass on the classy La Gerla 2021 Brunello. Linear, structured and loaded with finesse, the palate offers succulent red cherry, wild strawberry, star anise and crushed thyme alongside firm, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it energized and balanced. Be patient and give it time to fully develop.

The 2021 La Gerla Brunello di Montalcino is the quintessential example of balance and one of the most consistently delicious wines in the appellation. While the single-vineyard bottlings explore specific terroirs, this normale bottling is the perfect synthesis of the estate's two distinct souls: the cool, aromatic elegance of Canalicchio (north) and the ripe, structured power of Castelnuovo dell’Abate (south).
For those who don't know the history, the heart of La Gerla is the Colombaio podere, which originally belonged to the Biondi Santi family. This pedigree shines through in every glass.
Notes
The 2021 La Gerla Brunello di Montalcino is an elegant, high-altitude Sangiovese from a benchmark vintage. The nose is floral and perfumed, featuring wild cherry, violet, and tobacco with hints of exotic spice. On the palate, it is silky and harmonious, characterized by fine-grained tannins and a signature vibrant acidity. The finish is long and savory, showing great purity and tension. This is a classic, finessed Brunello built for extensive aging.
