TASTING NOTES

Production

The Barbaresco by Gaja is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, cultivated in the renowned Piedmontese commune that gives the denomination its name. The clusters are hand-selected and sourced from 14 owned vineyards. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel containers, followed by aging for 6 months in barriques and an additional 18 months in oak. This wine is ideal for aging in the bottle for many years.

Organoleptic Characteristics

It presents in the glass with an intense ruby hue that gradually shifts to garnet with time. The nose is rich, combining traditional and modern notes, with hints of dried violet, forest fruits, rose hip, and licorice. On the palate, flavors of cocoa and cloves emerge, along with touches of vanilla, cinnamon, and graphite. It is both caressing and vigorous, imposing yet velvety. The aromatic progression and growth seem to last indefinitely.

Occasion and Pairing

It shines best when paired with significant cheeses or dishes featuring truffles.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16-18°C.

Allergens: Solfiti

THE WINERY

Gaja

The Gaja winery is a historic and renowned entity in Piedmont, a symbol of the production of Barbaresco, named after the town it is in. Since 1859, handing down the passion for quality wine from father to son, this company has established itself on the wine scene not only in Italy, but worldwide. Gaja counts more than 92 hectares of vineyards in the heart of the Langhe, a land that has always been the mother of white wines from Piedmont of excellence. The rows also include local red varieties, made unmistakably vigorous by the properties of the soil. But terrain alone is not enough. In fact, the Gaja winery can boast a great team that has always been attentive to respecting traditions and adopting new production techniques. Intelligence, intuition and perseverance make Gaja wines delicate in flavour but strong in their expression of the land and the hard work of the founding family. Name and address of producer/distributor: Gaja - Via Torino, 18, 12050 Barbaresco (CN). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
