"... Rennina, der mit erhabener Dichte die Sinne vereinnahmt und mit Unterstützung der Säure einen langen, spannungsreichen Abgang inszeniert. Damit waren ihm die drei Gläser sicher." Gambero Rosso 2010

"Aromas of blackberry and dried mushroom follow through to a full body, with silky, refined tannins and a long aftertaste of bright fruit. Juicy and delicious on the intense finish. This has beautiful intensity." Wine Spectator

"The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Rennina is super-impressive. The wine literally dazzles the palate with layers of vibrant red berries, flowers and subtle French oak. In 2006, the Rennina shows gorgeous depth and purity, all in the wine’s signature style of finesse and restraint. A long, beautifully-articulated finish adds the last layers of elegance. This is a fabulous effort from Angelo Gaja and his team." Robert Parker

"A full-bodied red, with soft and silky tannins and chocolate, berry and cherry character. Long and beautiful finish. This is balanced. Drink now or hold." James Suckling 

"The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille is a tighter, darker and ulimtately more inward Brunello than the Rennina. Dark wild cherries, plums, tobacco, licorice, spices and menthol are wrapped around a substantial frame of tannic heft. Ideally the wine needs at least another few years in bottle, but it is impossible to miss the wine’s fabulous sense of poise and harmony. As always, Sugarille is a Brunello that speaks with a distinctly Piedmontese accent. It is a beautiful wine by any measure." Robert Parker 

"Rich and ripe, with dried fruits with hints of black cherries. Flowers too. Full body, with dark chocolate and berry character. Love the firm and velvety tannins. Wonderful finish. Beautiful Brunello from Gaja. Hard not to drink now." James Suckling
