With the 2005 vintage, for the first time in history, the GAJA family decided to produce a classic Brunello without single
vineyard designation, blended from all 40 acres the family has planted throughout the entire region. Pieve Santa
Restituta's Brunello di Montalcino is now produced from a selection of estate-grown grapes from throughout the winery’s
four non-contiguous vineyards as well as 25 acres of southwest facing vineyards in Torrenieri, in northeastern Montalcino,
acquired in 2006.
Select vintage, with ageing potential better than 2010. Juiciness and concentration are the features of the 2016 vintage
which shows elegance and drinkability.
