Brunello di Montalcino La Pieve D.O.C.G Print
It literally clings to the slopes between two hills up from the old marble quarry to the town of Castelnuovo sheltered from the wind. The few bunches of grapes produced by these heroic vines are extremely high in sugar content and very rich in polyphenols and extracts. The wine from this vineyard is warm and velvety, of a great character and fullness but mostly of an extraordinary concentration.

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva degli Angeli D.O.C.G Print
This is the signature wine of the estate, obtained from the vinification of the best grapes coming from our emblematic vineyard, Vigna gli Angeli (Vineyard of the Angels), which was first planted at Colombaio in 1976. The selection of the grapes is severe and drastic until there is a yield per hectare equal to 40/50 quintals. The end result is an extremely complex wine, both in aromas where spicy notes and tobacco prevail, as well as in the very unique tannic texture. This wine is only produced for exceptional vintages and is destined for long ageing.

Verticale Riserva gli Angeli Print
HISTORY OF A UNIQUE AND PRESTIGIOUS CRU
The Gli Angeli vineyard is a historic vineyard that is now almost 50 years old and was planted by Franco Biondi Santi at the time when Podere Colombaio still belonged to the family, before being bought by Sergio Rossi in 1974, the year of the beginning of the adventure of La Gerla.
This splendid cru is located in the best area, the highest in altitude, of the vineyard located in the center of the property on the north-east side of Montalcino, It has an area of about 2 hectares and is next to the small "Degli Angeli" church, a symbol of the Canalicchio area.
Its position is extremely privileged: caressed by light breezes that keep the air healthy and dry, there is a good position and excellent exposure. The age of the vines and the low yield per plant are just some of the factors that contribute to making Brunello Riserva Gli Angeli a unique wine: the soil is rich in clay, limestone and marl, elements that ensure intense and complex aromas, but also of microelements such as manganese, iron and boron which ensure balanced maturation.
The wines obtained from this vineyard are very fragrant, elegant and persistent, with great structure and volume, the tannins are very soft and silky, long-lived, collectible wines.
Grappa di Brunello Print
La Grappa di Brunello La Gerla is obtained from continuous distillation of the marc separated from the must after soft pressing by means of a steam still and the redistillation of the residue through the distillation columns.
The marc is worked fresh from fermentation after a suitable maceration period. Afterwards the grappa is aged in stainless steel vats for no less than eight months. In this way the aromas and sensory features of Sangiovese Grosso can be brought out.
The perfection union of modern technology and past traditions make for a winning combination in a product that fully reflects the unparalleled characteristics of the Montalcino area.

Description
The variety of olives is typically Tuscan including Frantoio, Correggiolo, Leccino, Moraiolo and Olivastro. They mainly feature very low acidity (less 0.5%) and an intense green colour; cold pressing maintains all the sensory qualities of the product revealing a vast aromatic range when tasted with fruity and fragrant aromas. For this reason, La Gerla extra-virgin olive oil is especially suitable for dressings.
