The 2015 Brunello from Pieve Santa Restituta is a vibrant and generously structured expression from a warm, celebrated vintage, shaped by Gaja’s trademark elegance and precision. Aromatically, the wine offers a lifted mix of ripe cherry, red plum, rose petal, sweet tobacco, and hints of spice and warm earth, all delivered with striking clarity. On the palate, it is broad yet focused, with supple fruit wrapped in fine-grained tannins and supported by a lively acidity that keeps the wine energetic and balanced. Layers of red berry, savory herbs, mineral undertones, and a gentle balsamic note build into a long, graceful finish that highlights both the richness of 2015 and the estate’s refined style. In the 375ml format, the wine shows beautifully now but still carries the structure for further evolution.

Pieve Santa Restituta represents Angelo Gaja’s deep engagement with Montalcino, a project that blends the estate’s renowned precision with the expressive soul of Sangiovese. Located in the southwestern sector of the appellation, the property encompasses vineyards with varied exposures and soils rich in clay, limestone, and ancient marine sediments—conditions that give the wines layered complexity and structural finesse. Since acquiring the estate in the 1990s, the Gaja family has invested heavily in meticulous vineyard work, low yields, and a highly detailed approach in the cellar, all aimed at elevating purity, balance, and textural refinement. The resulting Brunelli combine classical Tuscan character with a distinctly polished, modern sensibility, placing Pieve Santa Restituta among the most admired and consistently high-performing estates in Montalcino.
