About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The fruit comes from the Santo Pietro, Castagno and Pian dei Cerri vineyards. Rich soils and the warm influence of the Tyrrhenian Sea contribute balance, fruit character and soft tannins.
Grapes
The estate grows Sangiovese Grosso, also identified in the source as Brunello.
Vinification
After harvest, the grapes ferment in stainless-steel vats for three weeks.
Ageing
The wine matures for 24 months in large oak barrels, followed by six months in concrete vessels and two years in bottle.
Tasting profile
The 2018 is complex and harmonious, with an exceptionally generous palate, notable depth and fruity notes. It remains refined and elegant, with balance and soft tannins.
Label / history
The name “Rennina” appeared in medieval chronicles as that of a small place near the parish of Santa Restituta. The Gaja family acquired the Pieve Santa Restituta estate in 1994 and began growing Sangiovese Grosso to produce Brunello di Montalcino from three vineyards.
