Gaja - Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello Di Montalcino
Vintage: | 2018 |
---|---|
Description: | "Pieve Santa Restituta is Gajas estate in Montalcino, purchased in 1994. It is the familys first expansion outside the Barbaresco and Barolo areas since its establishment in 1859. This classic Brunello displays a light ruby-red color typical of a cooler vintage. The nose is herbal as evidenced by the Mediterranean scrub notes of thyme and rosemary along with a hint of balsamic, which opens to red berry aromas of cherry and plum. There are hints of pine resin and sweet notes of vanilla bean. The palate shows a balance of acidity and fruit with sweet, enveloping tannins that will ripen over time. This wine drinks beautifully now but will reward those who chose to age it. The grapes from the different vineyards ferment and macerate separately for around three weeks. After 24 months of ageing in oak, the wines are blended and then aged for another six months in concrete vats." - Wilson Daniels, Importer |
