| Description: | The name GAJA is legendary for iconic Italian wines. Hailing originally from Piedmont, the family made the move to also make wine in Tuscany as a natural progression of their reputation and quality. The Pieve Santa Restituta estate was acquired by the Gaja family in 1994. The white rocky soils of this area, in the southwest subzone of the Brunello di Montalcino appellation, were abandoned long ago by the sharecropper mezzadri farmers. But while other crops struggled in the rugged, nutrient-poor terrain, it has proven ideal for the cultivation of grapes destined to become fine wine such as this one. This 2015 has strikingly elegant aromas of violets, wild roses, roots, followed closely by blueberries, licorice, nutmeg and saffron accents. This wine has remarkable structure, with layers of smooth fruit gliding over the mouth. The tannins are firm but silky and the acidity is perfectly fresh, the finish is lingering. |
