The traditional Gaja winery, located in the heart of Piedmont, has stood for outstanding wine quality, uncompromising winemaking skills and excellent wines with an unmistakable character for generations.
This Barbaresco is made exclusively from the noble Nebbiolo grape variety, which thrives in carefully selected prime locations around the municipality of Barbaresco. The unique terroir, characterized by limestone-rich soils and an ideal microclimate, gives the wine its distinctive personality, elegance and finesse. The Gaja Barbaresco develops its extraordinary complexity, perfect balance and impressive depth through particularly careful manual harvesting, gentle vinification and long ageing in French oak barrels.

Tasting notes:
In the glass, the Gaja Barbaresco shines in a brilliant, intense garnet red color with elegant ruby reflections. Its complex bouquet opens with nuances of ripe red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, complemented by floral accents of violets, roses and subtle notes of licorice, tobacco and fine spices. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet elegant, supported by fine-grained, silky tannins and a balanced acidity structure. Its long, multi-layered finish impresses with a harmonious combination of fruit, spice and fine roasted aromas.
Drinking temperature: 16-18 °C
