Brunello di Montalcino Rennina Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta 1998
750 ml Sangiovese Tuscany, Italy 1998
Brunello di Montalcino Rennina Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta 1998 is a dry, full-bodied red from Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino, Italy), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are very firm and acidity fresh; oak influence is some. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 28-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with steak, lamb, venison, cheese board.

The Gaja family have owned the Pieve Santa Restituta estate since 1994 from which they produce two single-vineyard Brunello di Montalcino wines, Rennina and Sugarille. Now approaching the peak of its powers, this is wonderful example of mature Sangiovese, offering delightful notes of black cherry, dried cranberry, leather, tobacco and earthy spices.
