Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille 2001 is a full-bodied, single-vineyared Sangiovese red wine from the Montalcino sub-region of Tuscany, central Italy. 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. On the 2001 Sugarille. "The 2001 Brunellos show the pedigree of the superior vintage. Gaja’s 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille is the more potent of the Brunellos. It displays a darker color along with notes of tar, smoke, spices, toasted oak and dark fruit on a full-bodied frame with terrific expansiveness and length on the palate. A lingering note of licorice frames the finish of this beautiful, deeply expressive Brunello. Anticipated maturity. 2009-2021." Wine Advocate, 2006

The 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille shows a translucent ruby color with mild bricking around the rim. It takes its time opening up, at first floral and dusty with hints of smoke and soy. Patience is rewarded, as darker and richer notes of dried cherries, strawberries and brown spice come forward in the glass. It is silky and elegant, ushering in cool-toned red and black berries along with savory spices and herbal tones creating a sense of umami. Even at twenty years old, the Sugarille tapers off with a youthful and lightly structured feel, balanced by vibrant acidity and enough residual fruit to ensure a number of years of further evolution. That said, this is open for business and highly enjoyable today. Sampled from the winery's cellar.Eric Guido1st March 2021
