2012 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, Vigna Gli Angeli, La Gerla

2012 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, Vigna Gli Angeli, La Gerla

From La Gerla's prime vineyard 'Vigna Gli Angeli' meaning Vineyard of the Angels, this wine is deep in colour and has great concentration and denisty, thanks to the warm vintage as well as the low yields from this favoured site. Expect balsamic and dried flower aromas with firm yet very well integrated tannins.

Tasting notes

Bright medium ruby. Very clean and fresh aromas and flavors of red currant, cherry pit, flowers and blood orange jelly. Bright, juicy and very light on its feet, offering superb vinosity and clarity of flavor, this conveys an impression of real underlying density and a multilayered mouthfeel. A knockout wine of outstanding energy and class, finishing with polished tannins, uncanny sweetness and lovely subtle persistence, not to mention outstanding balance (it hides its 14.5% alcohol very well).
