Complex and structured. Intense red fruits into strawberry jam notes with lasting finish and oak influence.
Critical Acclaim
JS 96
James Suckling
Perfumed with cherries, berries and flowers. It’s medium-bodied with a ripe-fruit center-palate and praline, nut and nougat undertones. Rich and delicious, yet it remains intense and focused. Flavorful at the end. Drinkable now, but better in 2025 and onwards.
WE 95
Wine Enthusiast
Inviting aromas of wild berries, baking spice, new leather and charcuterie come to the forefront. Full-bodied and elegantly structured, the smooth palate features dried cherry, baked plum, vanilla and mocha framed in fine-grained tannins. Drink 2024–2031.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The La Gerla 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva gli Angeli is polished and tightly knit with lots of silky inner shine. The fruit shows good primary intensity with dried cherry and cassis, but this Riserva also accommodates some tertiary or aged aromas of spice, leather and tar. Earthy tones, cola and wild rose are folded into this fresh and elegant Sangiovese. There are some smoky oaky tones that are a little aggressive at first, but they do largely subside.
WS 93
Wine Spectator
This tightly woven red features notes of milk chocolate and spicy oak wrapped around cherry and currant fruit. Shuts down on the finish now, yet there is vibrant fruit and length. Best from 2025 through 2042.
