In truth, this wine has been produced since 2005, the year the Gaja family acquired a vineyard in the Torrenieri area in the northern part of the appellation where clay-rich soils with high water retention create powerful wines with softer acidity. Fruit from that vineyard was blended with grapes from the Rennina and Sugarille vineyards. However, this wine has recently seen the inclusion of fruit from two new plots, Bolsignano and Villa a Tolli, that bring acidity freshness and mineral tension. The wine presents a medium- to full-bodied texture with notes of dried fruit, cassis, tarry smoke and savory leather. It is lean on the mid-palate yet long and polished. Tight-edged tannins suggest the need for additional bottle aging, a profile consistent with a traditionally structured Brunello. This is a release of 90,000 bottles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breakthru Beverage California","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50610512986309,"sku":"9792460-1","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0101\/5401\/6865\/files\/461016-1.jpg?v=1772478269","url":"https:\/\/vinobee.com\/products\/gaja-pieve-santa-restituta-brunello-di-montalcino-2021-750ml","provider":"VinoBee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
