The Pieve Santa Restituta 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille reveals a finely chiseled quality with direct and lifted fruit that gives this wine an angular or delineated personality. This impression is reinforced by delicate mineral notes of crushed stone that fold into dark fruit sweet plum black cherry and earthy iris root. The wine is elegant but it also shows lots of umami or textural deliciousness thanks to the natural ripeness and concentration of the fruit. Give this wine more time in bottle. Published: Dec 14 2023

Balsamic aromas of campho
Wine Spectator: 96 Points
An elegant version this red exhibits cherry graphite earth blood and eucalyptus aromas and flavors turning darker and more brooding as it evolves in the mouth with both savory and mineral elements. Yet this remains very Sangiovese with a firm peppery aftertaste that echoes fruit iron and underbrush accents. Best from 2026 through 2045. ?B.S.

The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille is dark and youthfully inward forcing the taster to work with its brooding blend of blackberries sage and crushed stone. This displays textures of pure silk polished and refined with a dense textural wave of tart red and black fruits underscored by saline minerals and exotic spice. Orange notes add contrast through the close as this finishes tannic and long with a pleasantly chewy sensation and angular tannins that pinch the cheeks. The 2019 is a dark stallion of a Brunello all muscle and meat that will take many years of cellaring to show its best. That said it will be worth the wait. - By Eric Guido on November 2023
