Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello Di Montalcino 2018 75cl

Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello Di Montalcino

Pieve Santa Restituta is an alluring example of Brunello di Montalcino.

• Rich ripe cherry fruit – both red and dark – some brighter, fresher damson notes, and an intense prune-like character
• An abundance of savoury spice, tobacco and earthy notes on the nose
• On the palate, the wine has a particularly rich texture and mouthfeel.
• Robust tannins give this full-bodied Italian red excellent potential for ageing
• Perfect with roasted red meats, wild game, and hard cheeses

As with all Brunello di Montalcino, this is entirely from Sangiovese. Sourcing from their Sugarille and Rennina sites and a 10ha parcel in the north-east of the appellation. The different vineyard lots are vinified separately, aged in French oak for 24 months before blending, and then aged for another 6 months in concrete vats to allow the wine to soften and harmonise.
