Gaja Rennina Brunello di Montalcino 1999

Due to the slightly richer soil, Rennina is usually softer and a bit less tannic than Sugarille. Very clean, opulent aromas, with notes of ripe red fruits evolving into delicate spice and floral perfumes. Powerful and velvety in flavor with a fleshy and sustained finish and refined tannins

Pieve Santa Restituta was acquired in 1994, and represents Gaja’s first wine estate in Tuscany. Reaching heights of 350-meters-above-sea-level, the clay-rich, pebbly soils have always made this Montalcino property one of the finest in the region. The Gaja family also heavily invested in a new top-of-the-line winemaking facility in the early 2000s. Today, with 16-hectares of vineyards spread across four plots, the estate produces one of today’s most recognized European wines, Brunello di Montalcino. The captivating charm of Brunello di Montalcino is its tannic yet age-worthy characteristics. Pieve Santa Restituta also produces a signature blended Brunello, that expresses the appellation’s best attributes following the house’s personal style. The estate also crafts two vineyard-specific wines, the powerful Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille, which comes from the estate’s oldest single vineyard plot. While the elegant Brunello di Montalcino Rennina is a culmination of the remaining three sites’ fruit marked by Gaja’s ever so famous special touch.
