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.
