Tuscany. Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello Di Montalcino 2012
Do you fancy Brunellos? From one of my journeys to Tuscany from a beautiful, little town of Bagno Vignoni I brought home a bottle of Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello di Montalcino 2012. Gaja is one of the most famous wine producers from Italy. Vineyard originated and is still based in Barbaresco, in northwest Italy. Gaja name remains strongly associated with Nebbiolo-based wines, although the company now produces more wine in Tuscany than Piedmont.
Piedmont. Vietti Langhe Nebbiolo Perbacco 2019
It is always a pleasure to check on the recent vintages of Vietti entry wines. They consistently deliver top quality for the fraction of a price of some great Barolos and also give you a unique chance to peek into the future and try to predict how the Barolos of the vintage will turn out once they are released.
