Gaja "Pieve Santa Restituta" Brunello Di Montalcino

Heritage. Elegance. A benchmark Brunello.
Few names in the wine world command as much respect as Gaja, and the Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello di Montalcino is one of its crowning achievements. Produced in the rolling hills of Montalcino, this exquisite wine embodies the depth, balance, and longevity that define Italy’s most prestigious reds. The estate, named after the ancient parish church that stands at its heart, is a symbol of history and devotion — values that shine through in every bottle.

Made entirely from Sangiovese, the wine spends years refining in oak and bottle before release, developing a complexity that unfolds beautifully with time. On the nose, it reveals red cherries, dried roses, and subtle spice, while the palate delivers a seamless balance of fruit, structure, and minerality. The finish is long, elegant, and deeply satisfying — a quiet reminder that true greatness lies in restraint.

Angelo Gaja’s touch brings modern precision to this classic Brunello, elevating tradition with his trademark finesse. In Ireland, this wine stands as a benchmark for collectors and connoisseurs — a bottle that deserves to be savoured, cellared, and shared on life’s most special occasions.

Why we love it:
This isn’t just a wine — it’s a piece of Italian vinous heritage. Gaja’s Brunello is a standard-bearer, balancing tradition with elegance. In Ireland, where Brunello is increasingly sought after for special dinners and cellars, this bottle stands apart for its poise and ageing potential.
