Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello Rennina 2004

Rennina offers an earlier degree of accessibility, frequently allowing approach at a relatively young stage in its career. Its signature floral aroma leads into a palate of cherry fruit, currant, tar, and spice; while often displaying a rather open-knit sensibility, more structured vintages highlight its elegance and restraint. In the latter case, it offers a drinking timeframe of approximately 15 years; in riper vintages, that window closes just a bit, permitting a ten-year period. As Sugarille, its aging regimen entails one year in barrique followed by one year in barrel. Prior to release, it is aged in bottle for a two years.

Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello Sugarille 2004

By virtue of its distinguished terroir, Sugarille is the more demonstrative of the two Santa Restituta wines, signifying its potency on a visual level in its dark coloring. This mode continues on the dense palate, which characteristically exhibits dark fruit, spices, chocolate, tar, smoke, and toasted oak. Upon release, it normally requires a minimum of four to five years of cellaring before it provides rewarding drinking. It will continue to develop greater complexity and nuance will be exhibited over its maturation, which typically transpires over a 20-year period.
