    In 1994, Angelo Gaja acquired Pieve Santa Restituta – his first purchase outside Piedmont, named after the church on the estate, which dates back to the 4th century and has been linked to viticulture since the 12th century. Anyone who knows Gaja understands the decision: a place of historical depth, in the south-western sub-region of Montalcino, at 350 metres, with calcareous-clay soils and Galestro – the classic terroir of the great Brunello. 2020 was a challenging year. The heat of the summer and persistent drought demanded absolute precision in the selection process from cellar master Nicola Vaglini and his team – each parcel separately, each fermentation individually controlled, each decision made with the aim of preserving concentration and freshness at the same time. Matured for 24 months in oak, then six months in cement.

    The result is ripe and of great substance: intense ruby red in colour. Red berry compote, bougainvillea, a hint of earth and leather on the nose – opulent, with a Mediterranean warmth that betrays the vintage. Supple and expansive on the palate, with soft, grainy tannins, candied cherry notes and a long, warm final. A Brunello that demands time – and uses it with dignity. SUPERIORE.DE
