The nose exhibits complex floral and flowery notes, leaning towards sweet, ripe fruit such as Morello cherry and plum, adorned with chocolate nuances and sandalwood. Charming, soft tannins create a long and pleasant mouthfeel. The structure is full, with well-balanced acidity and tannins, culminating in a finish highlighted by savory, salty licorice.

Pieve Santa Restituta is Gaja’s estate in Montalcino, purchased in 1994. It is the family’s first expansion outside the Barbaresco and Barolo areas since its establishment in 1859.

The classic Brunello is a combination of all the vineyards in Montalcino owned by the Gaja Family. The name of the winery derives from the ancient Pieve (church), situated in the middle of the estate, whose foundations date back to the 4th century AD.

Part of the grapes from Rennina and Sugarille vineyards are blended with those from Torrenieri, in the northeastern area of Montalcino. Fermentation and maceration take place for around three weeks followed by 24 months of aging in oak and another six months in concrete vats.
