About the wine
The winemaker from the Italian winery La Gerla is absolutely proficient in his craft.

Tasting note
The Birba is affectionately called “Brunellino”. In contrast to Brunello, which matures for at least two years in the large “Botte”, it is aged in barriques for around 12 months. It delights with its strong structure, fine tannins and a complex range of aromas: rose, dried plum, cherry, spices and herbs as well as notes of chocolate, licorice and tar. The Birba can easily be stored up to 10 years after harvest and is a wonderful treat even without food.
