Producer Profile

About Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta
It was the early 1990s and with several, back to back challenging vintages in Piedmont, Angelo began looking south. He wanted to expand and Montalcino had always been on his mind. But where in this incredible region would he jump into? Who would he seek out to put his illustrious name behind? Through contacts and friends he heard of an old abbey, called Pieve Santa Restituta, that has some incredible surrounding vineyards and were interested in partnering up with him. Gaja was the right man for the job and in a short time the winery was making some insanely good bottles of Brunello; Gaja would take full creative control of the estate with their bombshell 1995 vintage and add another 25 acres of vineyards only 10 years later. Gaja had found his foothold in the south and began making some of the best wines in the region!
Today the Pieve Santa Restituta estate continues to turn heads with their incredible cru bottlings Sugarille and Rennina, but even more so for the masses, the Brunello cuvee has been in high demand thanks to the quality-price ration. These are seriously amazing wines for Brunello fans, yes, but Italian wine fans in general. A series of wines you’ll want to own and enjoy over the next few decades.
