Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello di Montalcino 2018 is an elegant and age-worthy Tuscan red crafted exclusively from Sangiovese grown around the historic Pieve Santa Restituta estate in Montalcino. The cooler 2018 vintage highlights finesse over power, offering aromas of red cherry, plum, Mediterranean herbs, thyme, rosemary, balsamic, vanilla, and subtle spice. The palate is refined with vibrant acidity, silky yet structured tannins, and a long, savory finish. Aged for approximately 24 months in oak followed by additional bottle maturation, this Brunello pairs beautifully with grilled steak, roasted lamb, wild game, mushroom risotto, aged Pecorino cheese, and rich Italian cuisine. It can be enjoyed now with decanting or cellared for 15–20 years.
