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.
