Sugarille Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta 2015 is a single-vineyard Brunello di Montalcino from a site characterised by its white limestone-rich soils. The 2015 vintage is a gorgeous, filigree expression, offering fresh red berries, dusty florals and white smoke that turn more savoury with notes of coffee grinds in the glass. Winemaking under the Gaja family involves fermentation in stainless steel followed by 12 months in barriques and 12 months in large traditional oak casks to balance power with refinement. This is an understated and highly focused Brunello, possessing the structural integrity and untamed energy required for a long and rewarding evolution in the cellar.

The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille is a gorgeous, feminine Brunello. It offers up fresh red berries, woodland in nature, with dusty florals and white smoke, turning more savory in the glass, hinting at coffee grinds, yet understated and refined throughout. On the palate, velvety textures nearly envelope a solid core of structural heft, which are perceived yet hardly felt until the finale. The purest blackberry, licorice, sage and savory spices remain throughout its long and dramatic finish, as grippy tannins emerge beneath a cloak of dark florals and crushed wildberry fruit. The 2015 Sugarille is a little untamed in its early going, but I’m imagining that quite a wine will emerge over the next five to ten years.Eric Guido1st April 2020

Single vineyard. Tasted blind. Very deep, almost impenetrable ruby. Very closed nose with minerally notes and a hint of oak sawdust. Compact, concentrated sour-cherry fruit and bags of crunchy and chewy tannins. Embryonic, concentrated and perfectly balanced. (WS)

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.
