Vinification of Brunello di Montalcino Pieve Santa Restituta by Gaja

The vinification of the Brunello di Montalcino Pieve Santa Restituta is an expression of traditional viniculture. The grapes come from hand-selected sites in Tuscany, where the Sangiovese grape flourishes under optimal conditions. These vines benefit from the warm sun and cool nights of the region, leading to top-quality fruit ripeness.

1. The harvest is carried out in small crates to handle the grapes gently and ensure their quality.

2. After de-stemming, the grapes are gently pressed, and fermentation starts in modern stainless steel tanks, with controlled temperature management.

3. After fermentation, the wine ages in large oak barrels, which impart a fine structure of wood notes. The aging takes place for at least 24 months.

4. Before bottling, the wine is naturally filtered to preserve aromatic clarity. After a final resting phase, it is bottled and stored in the cellars of Gaja for several months before being released for sale.
