Gaja Gaia & Rey 2012

Stone fruit and citrus peel drive the core, lifted by subtle baking spice and crushed almonds. Shows remarkable restraint for Gaja, with mineral tension replacing the house's typical richness. Brief reductive notes add Burgundian-like complexity before clearing to reveal pure, focused fruit. A Chardonnay built on precision rather than power.

Gaja is Barbaresco's most recognizable name globally, built on single-vineyard Nebbiolo from Sorì San Lorenzo, Sorì Tildìn, and Costa Russi, alongside a Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc that remain outliers in the region.
