The 2018 La Gerla Poggio gli Angeli Sangiovese shows depths of black cherry and spicy cedar, sweeter than the 2017 that stands next to it, with haunting dark florals that pull me closer to the glass. On the palate, silky textures give way to an intense mix of dark red berry fruits, both savory and sweet spices and wild herbal tones. The finish is long, as saturating spice coats the senses, offset by juicy acids, with hints of cedar and red wild berries lingering on.
