94 pts – Antonio Galloni
Gaja's 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Rennina jumps from the glass with vibrant aromas and flavours. Violets, black cherries, tobacco, licorice and menthol all appear later, adding further shades of complexity. The tannins are firm yet beautifully integrated. Pieve Santa Restituta fans know than Rennina can be deceptively medium in body, yet it has a great track record for aging. There is little doubt the Rennina is one of the standouts in 2008. This wine is simply gorgeous and will continue to impress to 2026.
