Sugarille 2016

Pieve Santa Restituta (Gaja)

Case Format: 6x75cl

This Brunello shows charming notes of juniper berries, liquorice and sweet wood to greet your nose upon approaching this wine. It has a very clear expression of sweet and ripe fruit, opening on the palate, with notes of spice and earthy aromatic herbs. This wine has remarkable texture, mouth-filling fruit and a very good length.

This is Pieve Santa Restituta’s signature wine. Expressive Sangiovese whose cherry, plum and herbal characters conjure up the picture postcard Tuscan countryside. Pieve Santa Restituta is located next to the stunning hilltop town of Montalcino, in an area surrounded by hills and dense woods. The soil, altitude and lush topography make Montalcino the ideal home for the Sangiovese grape, the star of the area’s celebrated Brunello di Montalcino wine.

CRITIC REVIEWS

Michaela Morris

From a single, southwest-facing vineyard on clay and limestone soil rich in Galestro, the 2016 Sugarille is large-framed but poised. With a brooding character, it is shaded by tobacco, smoky incense and grilled sage. The palate contributes mineral graphite notes and dense black plum, while muscley tannins keep everything resolutely in check. In recent years the estate has moved from barriques to ageing in larger tonneaux of 500 and 700L, in combination with big casks of 40hL.

Plenty of black cherries, cedar, dried flowers and red cherries on the nose, following through to the palate, which is dense and compressed with gorgeous, intense fruit and chewy yet integrated tannins. Very, very impressive red here. Try after 2024.
