Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta Sugarille Brunello di Montalcino 2020

A prestigious single-vineyard expression, Gaja’s Sugarille is the most "muscular" and structured Brunello in the Pieve Santa Restituta portfolio. Sourced from ancient, rocky galestro soils, it delivers a concentrated core of black cherry and plum layered with sophisticated notes of licorice, balsamic herbs, and crushed stone. Often compared to a Barolo for its brooding intensity and firm tannic spine, this wine offers incredible depth and a long, savory finish. It is a definitive collector's bottle built for decades of aging.

95 Points - James Suckling

Blackberry, tobacco, cedar, dark-earth and walnut aromas follow through to a full body with chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. A little austere at the end. Very structured. Needs three or four years to soften.

95 Points - Wine Spectator

Macerated cherry, plum, fruitcake and iron flavors signal this ripe, brooding red. Offers plenty of fruit and a glycerol texture midpalate. Backed by broad, dusty tannins, leaving a clipped feel on the gripping finish despite the lingering essence of sweet fruit.
