GAJA PIEVE SANTA RESTITUTA " SUGARILLE " BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO DOCG
Gaja’s Pieve Santa Restituta sits right next to the stunning hilltop town of Montalcino, surrounded by rolling hills and dense woodlands. With its mix of rich soils, high altitude, and lush landscape, this area is a dream location for Sangiovese. The name Sugarille refers to a distinct vineyard block within the estate planted to Sangiovese Grosso, the grape of Brunello, on predominantly galestro and limestone-rich soils with some clay content.
