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 from the original Biondi-Santi site dating back to the early 1960s, located between 270 and 320 meters above sea level, facing northeast. This hillside vineyard occupies a privileged position at the estate and consistently offers beautiful and healthy fruit.  Harvest between Sept 25 and Oct 15 in various passes.  Whole-berry criomaceration for 10 days, the spontaneous fermentation on the skins for 15 days.  Malolactic occurs in used barriques, then the wine is aged for 4 years in 5000L Slavonian oak casks and an additional year in bottle before being released. 8,000 bottles made.
