Pieve Santa Restituta Gaja

The Winery

The site of Pieve Santa Restituta is known for their pale, almost white colored rocky soils, located in an abandoned region within Brunello di Montalcino. Altogether, it covers 16 hectares of land that, for the most part, is only fertile for grape growth. This region is arid and produces richly flavored Sangiovese Grosso. With the current ownership of the Gaja family, this site has been able to reach the entirety of its potential with ageable and delicious Brunello di Montalcino.

Tasting Notes

WA94
The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille is also exceptional. Firm tannins support a core of dark, expressive fruit in a wine that impresses for its depth, richness and concentration. Black cherries, tar, licorice, smoke and incense emerge over time as the Sugarille shows its typical brooding personality. Layers of fruit continue to build to the huge, enveloping finish. The Sugarille is another wine clearly built for aging. As is typically the case, the Sugarille is more tannin and vibrant than the Rennina. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2026.
WS92
Violet, blackberry, black cherry, spice and earth aromas and flavors course through this rich red. Deftly oaked and decidedly modern, this remains harmonious and polished, with fine length. Best from 2016 through 2029.
