WINE DESCRIPTION

This classic Italian red blend is one of the most beloved wines of Piedmont. Gaja Barbaresco is made from the Nebbiolo grape, and offers intense aromas of red fruits, violets, spices, and a hint of leather. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins, bright acidity, and a long, lingering finish. Perfect for pairing with a hearty Italian meal, Gaja Barbaresco is a true classic that will continue to age gracefully in the cellar.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Gaja Barbaresco offers an inviting bouquet of dark cherry, dried herb, and anise.On the palate, the wine has a soft, rounded texture and offers ripe red fruit flavors, with a subtle hint of earth and spice. The tannins are well-integrated and the finish is long and complex. An excellent expression of the grape, and a lovely example of the Barbaresco style.
