Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello di Montalcino 2020

The 2020 Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello di Montalcino is a monumental and polished expression of Sangiovese that reflects the elegance of a classic vintage. It opens with a layered and expressive bouquet of wild cherry, ripe plum, and wild strawberry, uplifted by aromatic Mediterranean herbs like thyme and rosemary, as well as notes of dried rose, balsamic, and blood orange. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and harmonious, showcasing a core of juicy red fruit and mineral tension framed by silky, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of savory herbs, licorice, and subtle oak.
