Pieve Santa Restituta 2007 Rennina Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection
- $175
Put this beautiful Brunello in your cellar for at least 10–15 more years. Rennina opens with bold oak and cherry tones (that need more time to integrate), followed by plump, rich blackberry flavors, chocolate, leather and dark spice. It’s a wine characterized by impressive density and opulence.

Pieve Santa Restituta 2007 Sugarille Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection

Bold and elegant at the same time. Packs a powerful punch in a silk glove. Intense aromas of ripe fruit, spice, cherry liqueur, cola, dried sage and cigar box. The mouthfeel is pristine and structured, with a precise, tonic and streamlined impact.

Pieve Santa Restituta 2001 Sugarille Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection
- $155
A gorgeous single-vineyard Brunello from Angelo Gaja’s Tuscan estate, this wine is slightly more round and fleshy than Rennina but equally as complex and elegant. This is truly a great wine with velvet-like smoothness on the palate and intense black fruit and balsam aromas. It’s pensive yet yielding, refined and powerful all at once.

Pieve Santa Restituta 2001 Rennina Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection
- $125
Elegance, finesse and deeply layered nuances are this Brunello’s strongest suits. The aromas are tightly etched: The mineral tones are exact and fine, the fruit is fleshly and cushioned by tones of moist tobacco and earth. The menthol notes are divine and penetrating: A beautiful, vineyard-designate wine from Angelo Gaja.

Pieve Santa Restituta 1999 Rennina Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $95
Doesn’t seem that concentrated at first, but builds powerfully on the finish, giving it good promise for the future. Combines ripe cherries, tobacco and leather with a silky mouthfeel in a classic Brunello style, finishing with firm tannins. Try in 2008.

Pieve Santa Restituta 2008 Rennina Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $175
This estate, owned by Angelo Gaja, makes two expressions of Brunello. The 2008 Sugarille shows sharp acidity, but this wine offers more balance and harmony overall. It opens with beautiful floral tones of pressed violets and wild berry fruit while unfolding oak-driven aromas of spice and chocolate in a more subdued manner.

Pieve Santa Restituta 2008 Sugarille Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
- $190
Sugarille (by Angelo Gaja) is among the top-scoring wines in Montalcino but this edition is weighed down by biting acidity that is characteristic of the 2008 vintage. Modern aromas of black cherry, chocolate and tobacco deliver intensity and power. But the freshness feels sharp and raw at the back of the mouth. Give this wine a few more years to evolve.
