The Gaja family have owned the Pieve Santa Restituta estate since 1994 from which they produce two single-vineyard Brunello di Montalcino wines, Rennina and Sugarille. Now a fully mature wine, this is a rare bottle from the 1999 vintage and just the fifth release since the family took control over viticulture and vinification at this estate.
93 Vinous
Bright ruby-red. Wilder, darker aromas of cassis, black cherry, bloody meat and roasted oak. Dense, huge and sweet, with superb depth of flavor but less early mid-palate lift than the Rennina. Notes of marzipan and Sacher torte. This rather brooding Brunello boasts an utterly suave, silky texture; big, broad, dusty tannins; and superb persistence. I believe this is just the fifth vintage in which Angelo Gaja has had full control over viticulture and vinification at this estate.

From Turin to Tuscany

The Gaja Winery was founded in 1859 by Giovanni Gaja and has been owned and operated by five generations of the Gaja family. One of Italy’s most renowned and dynamic wineries, Gaja first established its world-class reputation with the powerful reds it produced in the region of Piemonte in Northwestern Italy.

A key figure was Angelo Gaja, who took over the running of the estate in 1970 and sought to showcase the best that the Nebbiolo grape could produce with stellar Barolo and Barbaresco wines. The estate produces unique white wines too, such as the marvellous single varietal Sauvignon Blanc, Alteni di Brassica.

Gaja is also a leading name in Tuscany, having diversified into the production of Brunello and Super Tuscan wines. The Gaja family have owned the Pieve Santa Restituta estate since 1994 from which they produce two single-vineyard Brunello di Montalcino wines, Rennina and Sugarille. In 1996, Angelo Gaja purchased the Ca’Marcanda estate in Bolgheri.
