The Wines of Pieve Santa Restituta

 

Rennina

A wine made from three individual parcels of vines in a part of the estate which documents show to have borne the name Rennina since the 8th century. Pure Sangiovese which spends a year in barriques and a year in large casks after fermentation, followed by two years in bottle before release from the estate. The wine is aromatic, structured and with a lingering finish marked by exceptionally fine tannins.

Appellation: Brunello di Montalcino D.O.C.G.
Variety: Sangiovese
Vineyards: Three vineyards located in the Rennina zone of Pieve S. Restituta.
Aging: One year in barriques and one year in large oak casks followed by 2 years of bottle aging.

Sugarille

The Sugarille vineyard first appears in the parish records of Santa Restituta in 1547. Its Sangiovese vines have produced fruit of outstanding quality since Angelo Gaja brought his rigorous vineyard management to bear following his purchase of the estate in 1994. The fermentation and ageing follow the same pattern as the Rennina, and the wine is rich, complex and elegantly structured.

Variety: Sangiovese
Vineyard: Sugarille
Aging: One year in barriques and one year in large oak casks followed by 2 years of bottle aging.
