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
- The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille is a tighter, darker and ulimtately more inward Brunello than the Rennina. Dark wild cherries, plums, tobacco, licorice, spices and menthol are wrapped around a substantial frame of tannic heft. Ideally the wine needs at least another few years in bottle, but it is impossible to miss the wine’s fabulous sense of poise and harmony. As always, Sugarille is a Brunello that speaks with a distinctly Piedmontese accent. It is a beautiful wine by any measure. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026.
