Why We're Buying
Angelo Gaja is an artist. Gaja Sugarille Brunello di Montalcino is his art. The classic Brunello contains an impossibly nuanced mixture of fennel, freshly cracked pepper, and raspberry aromas, along with dark fruit flavors and a long-lasting finish. While it’s a superb wine upon release, investors can store it for long-term returns.

Vinous
The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille is a sleeping giant. Cool-toned, poised yet wonderfully elegant, it lifts from the glass with a gorgeous display of lavender and purple-tinged florals before giving way to crushed stone, blackberries and a hint of sour citrus. It’s silky and soft with a dense core of primary fruits, which creates a monolithic feel today yet tempts the imagination with what’s to come. Brisk acids, salty minerals and fine-grained tannins combine, adding clenching grip yet also further depths, tapering off to hints of tobacco and spiced orange. Its scale is large, yet so is its potential, as this well-muscled Brunello is geared for the cellar and sure to make a lot of people happy over the next ten to twenty years.
