La Gerla Rosso Di Montalcino 2023
La Gerla Rosso di Montalcino 2023 comes from a respected Montalcino estate founded in the 1970s by Sergio Rossi, a former director at Biondi Santi who helped shape the property into one of the more traditional and consistent producers in the appellation. The estate sits largely around the Canalicchio zone in northern Montalcino, where higher elevations and galestro rich soils tend to produce wines with more structure and freshness than overt richness.
Like many serious Rossos from Montalcino today, this wine is not treated as a secondary product but as an intentional expression of sangiovese from younger vines and declassified Brunello parcels. The fruit is harvested by hand with careful sorting in both vineyard and cellar. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel with an extended period on the skins, followed by aging primarily in large wood and neutral vessels before additional bottle rest prior to release.
The 2023 vintage reflects the estate’s more traditional approach restrained extraction, moderate oak influence, and an emphasis on balance over sheer concentration. The wine leans toward red cherry, dried herbs, and subtle earthy notes, supported by sangiovese’s natural acidity and fine tannic structure.
A classic Rosso di Montalcino from a producer rooted in the older school of the appellation one focused on vineyard character, patience, and a more composed expression of sangiovese.
