Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello di Montalcino 2017

Hailing from the first of many successful expansion projects for the legendary Gaja family outside of Piedmont, the Gaja Brunello di Montalcino Pieve Santa Restituta is a 100% Sangiovese named after the parish of Santa Restituta that sits in the middle of the Gaja family’s Tuscan vineyard holdings. Highly expressive and showcasing bright cherry, balsamic, and Mediterranean herbs, this is a Brunello capable of being enjoyed right away but will age beautifully and soften while developing additional tertiary complexities. An excellent gift for any red wine drinker or something to add to one’s own collection, this wine shows that, even when operating outside of their ancestral homelands, the Gaja name represents nothing short of the best in wine.
