"Pure cherry, rose and raspberry aromas and flavors are expressive in this complex, ripe Brunello. Hints of leather, tobacco, mineral and spice lay in wait, but this is all about the fresh fruit at this stage. Very harmonious, yet with plenty of structure. Long on the finish. Best from 2017 through 2032. 425 cases made. "

"Dark spice and dried cherry aromas open the bouquet of the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino. This may be the best base Brunello I have tasted from La Gerla. The wine is distinguished by a heightened sense of uniformity, especially where the bouquet is concerned. You can easily identify tones of cherry, spice, leather cola and licorice that are typical of the Sangiovese grape. Wait a few minutes, and the wine begins to shows finely etched tones of grilled Mediterranean herb, ash and dried ginger. The nose is penetrating and deep with etched mineral tones at the back. This lovely wine also exhibits silky, long tannins on the smooth finish."

"Rose, iris, perfumed berry, tilled soil and a whiff of menthol are just some of the aromas you'll find on this elegantly structured red. The full-bodied palate offers ripe black cherry, crushed raspberry, clove, anise and dried herb alongside youthfully austere but refined tannins. Hold for more complexity. Drink 2025–2035."

93 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

"Dark cherry, plum, smoke, savory herbs, licorice and cedar make a strong first impression in La Gerla's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Gli Angeli. The bouquet alone is entrancing. Mysterious, deep and totally seductive, the 2010 possesses remarkable depth and tons of nuance. With time in the glass, the Riserva shows riper, more exotic notes. This is an especially virile Brunello, but the tannins aren't that imposing, which means the 2010 will drink well with just a few more years in bottle. "
