96 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Ripe woodland berry, blue flower, botanical herb and eucalyptus aromas lift out of the glass on the classy La Gerla 2021 Brunello. Linear, structured and loaded with finesse, the palate offers succulent red cherry, wild strawberry, star anise and crushed thyme alongside firm, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it energized and balanced. Be patient and give it time to fully develop. Drink: 2031–2041. Abv: 14%. (Nov 2025)"
93 points Ian D'Agata Wine Review: "Bright red. An initial note of beef broth wears off with aeration, to leave behind precise floral and red fruit aromas and flavours of rare prettiness. Nicely approachable, uncomplicated Brunello boasting polished tannins and an early-drinking quality that many will love. It’s hard to argue with this Brunello’s delivery of juicy red fruit goodness. Drinking window: 2028-2035. (12/19/25)"
93 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino opens with mentholated freshness, as minty herbs mix with a whiff of white pepper, olive brine and wild strawberries. It is soft and soothing on the palate, with a subtle citrus infusion to its ripe wild berry fruits, as rosy inner florals cascade throughout. The hulking structure is revealed on the finish, as nuances of dark chocolate mix with spiced orange and clove over a bed of fine-grained tannins. Drink: 2028-2040. (Nov 2025)"
93 points Aldo Fiordelli (JamesSuckling.com): "Smoky and toasty wine, full of spices, restrained black cherries, earl-grey and bark. Medium-bodied, it’s almost sour and chewy on the palate, due to the brilliant acidity and firm, velvety tannins. Tight finish. Best after 2028. (12/13/25)"
