Pieve Santa Restituta (Gaja)

Pieve Santa Restituta is Angelo Gaja's Brunello di Montalcino estate, acquired in 1994—the same year Gaja also purchased Piero Antinori's share of a separate property. Located in the southern Montalcino zone near Sant'Angelo in Colle, the estate produces three wines: a single-vineyard Brunello Rennina, a single-vineyard Brunello Sugarille, and a multi-vineyard Brunello label. The acquisition of a prestigious southern-zone estate gave Gaja a Montalcino platform to complement his Bolgheri (Ca'Marcanda) and Piedmont holdings. At auction, Rennina is the most-traded wine (84 lots, $166 average) with the oldest auction record in the database (1990 vintage), while Sugarille averages $154 across 80 lots (2013 top vintage). The broader Brunello label averages $100 across 61 lots. Prices peak at $1,195 for the rarest Rennina and Sugarille releases. The estate's connection to Gaja drives collector interest, with the wines occupying the upper-middle tier of Brunello pricing—above commodity Brunello but below the $300+ per bottle reserve releases of Biondi-Santi or Poggio di Sotto.

Rennina single-vineyard Brunello has been produced since at least 1990—the oldest vintage in the auction database—and averages $166 per bottle across 84 lots, demonstrating both longevity and consistent collector interest.

Both single-vineyard cuvées (Rennina and Sugarille) are sourced from the southern Montalcino zone near Sant'Angelo in Colle, a warmer sub-zone associated with richer, fuller-bodied Brunello.

Angelo Gaja acquired Pieve Santa Restituta in 1994, integrating it into a three-region portfolio (Piedmont, Montalcino, Bolgheri) that gives the estate brand recognition among collectors beyond typical Brunello buyers.

Auction prices peak at $1,195 for the rarest releases; the 2013 Sugarille is the most-traded recent vintage, a year that combined good ripeness with natural acidity across Montalcino.

In the Glass

Southern-zone Brunello from volcanic and limestone soils: ripe dried cherry, tobacco, dark spice, and earthy mineral. Fuller and more generous than northern Montalcino Sangiovese Grosso, with rounder tannins and a richer mid-palate. The Gaja house style adds precision and extraction; wines benefit from 10–15 years of aging to fully integrate structure and reveal tertiary complexity.
