Note di degustazione
Now we're talking. I tasted the 2015 Brunello di Montalcino after tasting the other samples from La Gerla, and it's amazing how clearly and convincingly that brawny Brunello character comes through. This is a robust and precise wine that shows dark berry fruit, red currant, spice, licorice and grilled herb. I love the way that all that beautiful Sangiovese intensity comes together with immediate focus and clarity. About 40,000 bottles were released. Nice job.

La Gerla's 2015 Brunello di Montalcino is gorgeous, showing depths of earthy moist soil, minerals and hints of animal musk up front, giving way to crushed strawberry and cherry, getting spicy with lifting minerals yet retaining a rich character throughout. On the palate, silky textures are matched by cool-toned acids and refreshing moist mineral tones, as zesty cherry and cedar come forward. It's so balanced and smooth, with high energy lasting into the long finish, showing saturating spice and salty minerals, yet remaining cool-toned and precise. The 2015 is a beautifully balanced wine that’s firmly rooted in the earth.
Tasted blind. Mid ruby. A little savoury and reductive at first. Hints of cherry and smoked bacon. Cherry fruit palate that is a little mellow at first, but grows in depth on the finish. The firm tannins fit the whole like a glove. (WS)
Pale garnet. Quite savoury, a touch volatile. Quite a sweet attack followed by some woody notes and very firm tannins. A touch candied. Not showing very well today. (AC)
