Rennina 2016

Pieve Santa Restituta (Gaja)

Case Format: 6x75cl

Gaja is one of the best-known wine producers in all of Italy based in Barbaresco, in northwest Italy.
Whilst Gaja is best known for having modernized Piedmont, introducing international grape varieties and winemaking practices more common in Bordeaux or California, traditional elements remain, including long macerations and the use of larger oak barrels.
Gaja’s move beyond Barbaresco started in 1988 with the acquisition of the Sperss vineyard in neighboring Barolo. In 1994, Gaja took over the 27 hectare Pieve Santa Restituta estate in Montalcino, followed by the 118 hectare Ca’ Marcanda estate in Bolgheri.

James Suckling

Some much shaved black truffles to the blackberry, walnut and chocolate undertones. It’s full-bodied and layered with chewy yet soft tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Smoke, mahogany and wet-earth undertones. Needs three or four years to soften and come together. Best after 2024.

The Rennina is sourced from three different vineyard sites of different exposition. There are playful and fresh aromatics of primary red plum, cherry cola, and fresh Mediterranean herbs. Refined and supple tannins coat the palate with fresh black raspberry fruit, licorice, and dried violets. The 2016 has richness without weight, is well-balanced, and has a luxurious feel. There is an approachability now, though it will be well enjoyed over the next 15 years. 2022-2036.
