Cantina Pieve Santa Restituta takes its name from the ancient parish church located in the center of the estate; it was acquired by the Gaja family in 1994, and is located in Tuscany in the town of Montalcino. The vineyards are located in a particularly privileged position, where a ventilated and dry microclimate prevents humidity from stagnating, and allows the grapes to fully ripen.

Numerous redevelopment works have been carried out on the vineyards aimed at preserving the heritage of the vines, protecting older crops and taking care of the subsoil through the production of compost. Brunello Gaja is the joint expression of all the vineyards of the Pieve Santa Restituta estates, each of which carries out its own fermentation and maceration process separately for approximately three weeks. Subsequently, after 24 months of aging in wood, we proceed with the assembly of the grapes and a further 6-month refinement in cement tanks.

The olfactory examination reveals a broad and well-defined bouquet with hints of juniper, aromatic herbs, floral aromas and notes of cherry. In the glass it presents itself as a ruby ​​red, intense shade. When tasted it presents a rich structure, balanced acidity and ripe tannins. The long finish, persistent and satisfying, demonstrates and confirms the exceptional quality and uniqueness of this wine.

Ideal for pairing with roasts, game, grilled and stewed meat. Excellent glass to taste as a meditation wine, to sip without haste in good company or to accompany a good book for an evening of total relaxation.
