Description

Il Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Sugarile by Pieve Santa Restituta, a company belonging to the Gaja universe, represents a refined expression of Sangiovese in Tuscany. Produced in the historic area of Montalcino, this wine comes from privileged vineyards, where the clay and limestone soil enhances the minerality and structure of the noble grape variety. The aging takes place traditionally in oak barrels, which impart elegance and complexity to the bouquet, enriched by aromas of ripe cherry, sweet spices, and a delicate balsamic note.

On the palate, it is harmonious and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long persistence that recalls the land of origin. Thanks to its structure, Sugarile pairs splendidly with red meats, game, and aged cheeses, embodying with balance the authentic character of Brunello. A wine that tells the Tuscan tradition with an innovative outlook, capable of exciting with every sip.
