Gaja Sugarille Brunello di Montalcino(2001)

The parish church, or "Pieve," of Santa Restituta stands on the winery property and gives it its name; the Sugarille vineyard was first recorded in the Pieve's inventory in 1547. The unique position and soil structure of the Sugarille vineyard--calcareous clay with a gently sloping southern exposure--give this wine an expressive, powerful character. This is a very special terroir, producing outstanding, long-aging single-vineyard Brunello.

Rich, complex aromas of ripe fruit (plums and wild cherries), violets and hints of cloves and tobacco.
