WINE DESCRIPTION

Fabio Gea Barbaresco Riserva is a premium wine produced by Fabio Gea, a renowned winemaker from the Piedmont region of Italy. This wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Barbaresco appellation, which is known for its unique terroir and ideal growing conditions for this grape variety. The vineyards are situated on steep hillsides with a mix of clay and limestone soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including extended maceration and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with notes of red fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. This wine is a perfect representation of the Barbaresco style, with its refined tannins and long, lingering finish.

Balanced and elegant, this is a great representation of a classic Barbaresco Riserva.
