The Torrenieri soil comprises clay, tuff, and sand, whereas Rennina and Sugarille feature clayey-calcareous soil. This wine is intricate and expressive, offering flavors of cherry, aromatic herbs, florals, and juniper. It has a palate of mature tannins, balanced acidity, a robust structure, and a persistent finish.

About the Wine Maker 
"Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta is one of Angelo Gaja’s two Tuscan properties, on the site of an old church, Santa Restituta, which dates back to the 4th century. As is the family’s style, theirs is a fusion of modern and traditional winemaking. Gaja also owns land on the Buonconvento Northern side of Montalcino and some prestigious lands in the South, a stone’s throw from Sesti in Argiano. The Northern sites normally all go into the Brunello di Montalcino ‘normale’ with Sugarille and Rennina, located around the winery on the Southern side of the town, being bottled individually as Crus. These three Brunellos from one of the finest names in Italian wine are always impeccably crafted and full of character and finesse." - Greg Sherwood, MW
