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

WA95
A bit closed at first, the 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille sees fruit harvested from a five-hectare cru site with galestro limestone soils and all-southern exposures. Despite the initial shyness of the bouquet, this wine ultimately shows a more profound and elegant approach in this warm vintage. It just takes a little longer to get there. The nose offers a full spectrum of fruit, floral and earthy tones that speak so highly of this all-Sangiovese appellation. The wine is smooth and rich in terms of density with beautiful firmness at the back.
JS93
A powerful red with chewy tannins and hints of cedar and wood. Full-bodied, tight and tannic. I like the tannin tension.
