Brunello di Montalcino "Sugarille" Pieve Santa Restituta (Gaja) 2013 (750 ml)

96 poena – Wine Enthusiast

Pieve Santa Restituta je imanje porodice Gaja u Montalčinu, kupljeno 1994. godine. To je bila prva ekspanzija porodice van Pijemonta još od osnivanja vinarije u Barbaresku 1859. godine. Sugarille je južno orijentisan vinograd sa zemljištem koje čine glina i krečnjak. Kao i sva vina Brunello, sastoji se isključivo od sorte Sangiovese.

Ovo vino se proizvodi u malim količinama, i to samo u izuzetnim berbama. U berbi iz 2013. godine vino ima bogatu rubin crvenu boju sa blagim garnet odsjajem. Nudi intenzivne arome tamnih latica ruže i kupine, dok se na nepcu ističe bogatim, gustim taninima. Vrlo slojevito vino koje se polako otvara u čaši i ima izuzetno dug završetak.

Pieve Santa Restituta is Gaja’s estate in Montalcino, purchased in 1994. It is the family’s first expansion outside Piedmont since the winery's establishment in Barbaresco in 1859.    Sugarille is a single south-facing vineyard consisting of clay and limestone.  As with all Brunello wines, it is comprised of 100% Sangiovese.  

Not many bottles of this are produced, and only in the better vintages.  In the 2013 vintage the wine is a rich ruby colour with a slight garnet sheen.  It offers powerful aromas of dark rose petals and blackberry, and shows rich, dense tannins on the palate.  It is a very layered wine that will unfold slowly in the glass and has a very long finish.
