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 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille is darker and richer than the Rennina. Black cherries, plums, tar, licorice, minerals and leather all come together in this brooding Brunello. The fruit remains intense and full-bodied all the way through to the powerful and deeply satisfying close. Despite the wine’s heft, all of the components are woven together with remarkable harmony. This is a wonderful effort from Angelo Gaja. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2026.
WS95
Shows aromas of citrus fruit, with raspberry and blackberry. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and silky tannins. Very well-structured, with a hint of new wood on the finish. Long and balanced. Still needs time. The best wine ever from this estate. Best after 2011.
