La Gerla Poggio gli Angeli 2016
Tuscany, ItalyThe vineyards of La Gerla lie on the Montalcino hill at 320m, right where the slope softens. La Gerla is the only family-owned property in Montalcino working with the original Biondi Santi (BBS) Sangiovese clones. This young vine sangiovese grosso was fermented in stainless, and aged 4 months in Slavonian wood, followed by 2 months in bottle, all of which are aimed at an early release and enjoyment. And this is certainly fun to drink now, with perfumed black raspberry, cherry, spices floating through the medium-bodied palate. Tannins are finely firm, guiding this fresh wine to the finish — lovely presence and confidence, and drinking beautifully now or over the short term.Tasted: 01 December 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $38.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
