GAJA - Barbaresco
2019 - 100% Nebbiolo
On the nose, Barbaresco is abundant with rich scents of rose, liquorice, and orange. Notable fragrances of red and black fruits (strawberry, tangy black cherry, and blackberry) are prominent.
On the palate it is plump and brimming with fruity elements. Delicate tannins counterbalance acidity, resulting in a wine with substantial body on the palate. The aftertaste lingers gracefully with a touch of sweetness.
The centrepiece of the Italian winery's wine composition, Gaja Barbaresco holds utmost significance. This red wine embodies the Gaja family's profound dedication to their legacy. A pivotal shift occurred in 1961 when the winery transitioned from collaborating with long-standing grape growers to exclusively utilizing Nebbiolo from their own 14 vineyards across Barbaresco and Treiso, thus ensuring unparalleled quality.
The Gaja family was established in the Piedmont region, in northwestern Italy, in the mid-seventeenth century and it was Giovanni Gaja (great-grandfather of the current owner) who founded the winery in the Langhe hills of Piedmont in 1859.
