2019 Brunello di Montalcino Rennina
Buying options
Tasting notes
After the “straight” Brunello, Pieve Santa Restituta's 2019 Rennina is totally different – offering a brighter, tarter fruit profile. There’s more bite to the wine, with a vibrancy and more elusive floral character at play. Tightly packed and closed now, there’s nevertheless everything needed to evolve beautifully in bottle.

A jeweled ruby/magenta hue, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino Rennina shows off smoldering aromas of incense, cigar box, kirsch, lavender, and sage. It transitions to the palate with ease and is approachable, with refined tannins, mouthwatering, seamless acidity, a long-lasting finish, and a hint of warming spices on the back palate. An outstanding and seductive wine, it’s hard to resist now but will have lots of longevity ahead. Drink 2026-2046. Pieve Santa Restituta is the Montalcino estate of Piedmont’s Gaja family.
