This is a fresh and tonic wine and what it lacks in complexity, it makes up for in good cheer and friendliness. Extreme temperature control and 12 months of Slavonian oak aging account for the wine's aromatic freshness and its textural richness. The wine is engineered for immediate consumption.
Sporting an intense ruby red color. It's harmonious, velvety, rich and fruity on the palate. Reminiscent of delicate, fruity and fragrant notes of cherry and wild berries.
This single-vineyard cru is La Gerla's flagship wine. Made in select years, this comes entirely from a one-hectare parcel of old vines (25-30 years old) from the original Biondi-Santi site, located between 270 and 320 meters above sea level. This hillside vineyard occupies a privileged position at the estate and consistently offers beautiful and healthy fruit. The wine is aged for 4 years in 50 -100hl Slavonian oak casks and an additional year in bottle before being released.
