Overview
With the 2005 vintage, for the first time in history, the GAJA family decided to produce a classic Brunello without single vineyard designation, blended from all 40 acres the family has planted throughout the entire region. Pieve Santa Restituta's Brunello di Montalcino is now produced from a selection of estate-grown grapes from throughout the winery’s four non-contiguous vineyards as well as 25 acres of southwest facing vineyards in Torrenieri, in northeastern Montalcino, acquired in 2006. For this vintage, fruit from the three Rennina vineyards and the Sugarille vineyard were used to produce the 2014 Brunello di Montalcino bottling. This is the only Brunello offering from GAJA this release.
Aging
After 24 months of ageing in oak, the wines are blended and then aged for another six months in concrete vats.
Fermentation
The grapes from the different vineyards ferment and macerate separately for three weeks.
Tasting Notes
Style
Bold, Structured
Aroma
The 2014 Brunello shows botanical notes and fresh fruity aromas of sage, rosemary, red currant and pomegrante, followed by complementary notes of clove and incense.
Taste
On the palate, you immediately notice freshness and elegance. Stone fruits, such as pear and quince give way to a smooth, savory texture with vibrant acidity, silky tannins and long aftertaste.
