Pieve Santa Restituta
Brunello di Montalcino DOP
Brunello is a combination of all the vineyards in Montalcino owned by the Gaja Family. The name of the winery derives from the ancient Pieve (church), situated in the middle of the estate, whose foundations date back to the 4th century AD.
Part of the grapes from Rennina and Sugarille vineyards are blended with those from Torrenieri, in the northeastern area of Montalcino. While the soil in Rennina and Sugarille is clay-calcareous with high amounts of Galestro, the ground in Torrenieri is a mixture of clay, tuff and sand.
