Gaja, Pieve Santa Restituta

One of the great entrepreneurs of modern Italian wine, Angelo Gaja’s story begins in Barbaresco where he almost single-handedly raised the Barbaresco name to world fame.

In the 1990s, he turned his gaze on Tuscany, acquiring the Pieve Santa Restituta estate in Brunello di Montalcino in 1994. Named after the parish church (pieve) situated in the middle of the estate, its history dates back to 400AD.

The vineyards are located at a 350 metre altitude and are neighbours to Soldera’s Casse Basse estate. Three wines are produced on the estate, of which we list the single vineyards ‘Rennina’ and ‘Sugarille’. ‘Rennina’ is known as the more structured and masculine with a riper character, whereas ‘Sugarille’ is more delicate with softer tannins and floral complexity.

We offer the following Brunello di Montalcino from Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta
