The 2018 Gaja Rennina Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello di Montalcino is a love letter to Tuscany. This refined Brunello is an elegant showcase of Sangiovese’s depth and character, offering a fresh, herbaceous vibrancy alongside luxurious layers of fruit and spice.

The 2018 Rennina saw 24 months of ageing in oak barrels, followed by an additional year of refinement in the bottle. This patient process enhances the wine’s complexity, allowing its aromas and flavours to evolve beautifully. The cooler vintage lends an herbal freshness to balance the deep fruit notes, while the silky tannins promise further rewards with time.

Pairing Suggestions: Pair with slow-roasted lamb, wild boar stew, truffle risotto, or a hearty plate of pappardelle with porcini mushrooms.

Tasting Note: Alluring aromas of black cherry, crushed blueberries, rosemary, and roasted chestnuts. The palate unfolds with layers of sweet cherries, ripe stone fruits, balsamic hints, and velvety tannins, leading to a long, harmonious finish.
