Brunello di Montalcino Rennina docg “Pieve Santa Restituta” Gaja 2004

The Brunello di Montalcino “Rennina” of the Tuscany winery Pieve Santa Restituta owned by Gaja, takes its name from the ancient Roman name of the estate which literally means “state farm”.

On view, it shows an intense ruby red color with garnet nuances; the smell is wide and fruity with a scent of blackberries, dried plumps in addition to a background of cocoa and coffee notes.

In mouth, it is warm and velvety with soft tannins that make this wine elegant and enjoyable.

With a great potential of aging, it is perfect in combination with roast meats, game and seasoned cheese.

The cave was built in 1859 in Barbaresco, in the centre of the Langhe, and all along it is recognized as one of the name-symbol in the production of Barbaresco. From the creator Giovanni to Angelo Gaja, this family has earned a great reputation in wine’s sector thanks to its attentive pursuit of quality. In the 60s years Angelo Gaja has decided to innovate the traditions and to import new productive techniques: from the destruction of the production for hectare to a greater control of fermentation temperatures, from the use of the barrique to the replacement of longer tops. The past as experience, the future as purpose: this is the philosophy of this successful winery.
