The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Rennina flows across the palate with layers of sensual, perfumed fruit. Soft, gracious and impeccably balanced, the 2007 Rennina impresses for its overall harmony and sense of grace. Sweet red berries, crushed flowers and spices wrap around the feminine finish. This is a very pretty not to mention hugely appealing wine from Pieve Santa Restituta. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027. I tasted an amazing range of wines at Pieve Santa Restituta, including the 1996 and 1997 Brunello di Montalino Rennina, both of which have aged beautifully and show no signs of fading. Those wines were some of the first the Gaja family made in Montalcino, when they had far less experience than they do today. I have little doubt today’s wines are going to be even better. Pieve Santa Restituta sometimes gets lost in the Gaja lineup, but the estate’s best Brunelli are easily among the finest in the entire appellation.

A rich, beefy style, with sweet spices accenting cherry, leather and tobacco flavors. Dense and firm, with sweet fruit matching the tannins on the long finish. Best from 2014 through 2028. 200 cases imported. –BS
Producer
Pieve Santa Restituta - Gaja
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.
