Gaja
Sugarille Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Over 150 years ago Giovanni Gaja opened a small restaurant in Barbaresco, making wine to complement the food he served. In 1859, he founded the Gaja Winery. I was lucky enough to get a taste! Deep Ruby with rich complex aromas of fruit, floral and earth. On the palate cherry and ripe blackberry flavors with cedar and toasty cacao. Well balanced on firm tannins just about approachable, lingering ending with a rich earthy character. Nice. Tasting Sample.

This afternoon enjoyed a holiday luncheon with a client and shared this bottle 2011 Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta Sugarille BdM.
A bit shy on the nose. It takes awhile to bring out the full aroma of this beauty. Once open the aromas of black cherry, raspberry, licorice, spices, cedar, menthol, floral and earthy notes come out.
This dark voluptuous wine has lots of depth and structure that pleases the palate. Black cherries, raspberry, red plum, pepper, sweet tobacco, some leather, menthol, spices, flint, smokey oak and beautiful rich earth.
This has a full rich mouth feel with Medium + acidity- High chewy tannins that leads to a rich long sustained finish.
A wonderful holiday lunch enjoyed by all and this wine did not disappoint. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷🖒

I'm not a big sangiovese guy, but this wine is something special. I am glad I got to know thee.
The nose is filled with dried cherries, fig, dried roses potpourri like, a very elegant aroma.
This is a fruit forward sangiovese with nice cherry, a bit of strawberry, red plum, leather, and some minerality.
This wine is well balanced with medium + tannins, medium + acidity with a full bodied mouth feel. A very enjoyable bottle of wine. I am going to have to relook at these wines.

17+/20 (92+/100) Вино с насыщенным ароматом спелых вишни и сливы, табака, чёрного перца, лайковой кожи и фиалок. Высокая кислотность и сухие, интенсивные, но тонкие по текстуре, «графитовые» танины. Шоколад преобладает во вкусе. Молодо и великолепно! (04.11.2017)

Incredible single vineyard site. Polished and feminine style with deep black cherries and velvety florals accented by savory spices and rich tomato purée.

Luscious. Silky. Perfectly pleased with this but pales a bit compared to Rennina Pieve Santa Restituta.
