90 Pts Ian Dagata - Vinous Media |
"Good medium ruby. Rich cherry, dark plum, mocha and a whiff of dried flowers on the nose. Supple and concentrated, with harmonious acidity nicely framing the sweet flavors of red berries, dark plum, blackcurrant and coffee. This creamy wine really fills the mouth, and its long, rising finish displays a complicating smoky quality. One of the best young wines I have ever had from La Gerla. Made by declassifying certain barrels of Brunello, this wine will only be released early next year." -90 Points - International Wine Cellar |
Description:
WINE:
"Viticulture methods: Deep pruning, restriction of production to a few grape bunches from each vine, grape selection and harvest by hand.
Vinification methods: Loose grape pressing; temperature controlled (30ðC) during fermentation; 2 rackings every year; slow continuous flow bottling in sterilized conditions" -Winemaker
ESTATE:
"The La Gerla property is situated at 320 metres above sea level, on the gentle slopes below Montalcino. This small wine estate has established itself as one of the great crùs in this territory in the heart of Tuscany, delineated by the Orcia and Ombrone valleys."
"The owner, with his vivacious character, has succeeded in his goal of creating a small crù in Montalcino where the most modern technology is combined with the know-how of local men and one winemaker. At La Gerla, human intervention plays an important role is extracting excellent Tuscan products from the land."
"The farmhouse, with the characteristic name ââ¬ÅColombaiaââ¬Â was once the property of the Biondi Santi family. They used it to make one of the best Brunellos in the area. Sergio Rossi purchased the property in 1976 and restructured it with care and attention to detail. Not long afterwards, in 1978, he created the trademark La Gerla."
"Today the estate has 11,5 hectares (28,41 acres) under vine and large modern cellars complete with the latest technology. Sergio Rossi is flanked by a united team of people that have helped him to achieve his goal; the winemaker, Vittorio Fiore, who has been with the estate from the start and is both a friend and a trusted professional, Alberto Passeri, agronomist and director of the estate, Marisa the cellar boss, Luca the vineyard overseer and Sonia who deals with the estate administration."
"Last but not least, Seriano, the first ââ¬Åcontadinoââ¬Â to work on the estate, has returned to the property. At La Gerla, as well as the development and continual evolution of our technology, we still give great importance to the people and the sentiments that are behind our wines and, for this reason, we couldnââ¬â¢t give up on a local man, a real ââ¬Åilcineseââ¬Â with land and wine in his blood!" -Winery
