The "Rennina" from the Pieve Santa Restituta estate is an example of how beautifully Sangiovese can age... velvety dark cherry with roasted hazelnut overtones and a slightly subdued nose of rose petals and spice. Rennina typically spends 24 months in oak before being bottled. The color of this version was dark and voluptuous, belying its 23 years of age...
Pieve Santa Restituta has enjoyed a relationship with Angelo Gaja going back to the late 1980's.

The Gaja family purchased the estate in 1994, and it has continued to represent a benchmark for quality in the Brunello di Montalcino appellation.
