Gaja (Pieve Santa Restituta), Brunello Montalcino Sugarille other_regions_italy Chardonnay from Côte des BlancsDeep ruby with the beginning of orange tinges. Deeper and a little richer on the nose than the Rennina and more genuine, with much less oak, or is it just better absorbed? Supple and with wonderful concentration of fruit. Impressive tannic structure that reminds me a little of Nebbiolo. Long and firm. (WS)
