Inky and imposing, with wild cherry, cedar and graphite flowing through a muscular frame. Licorice and dried herbs add savory complexity to the dense core of dark fruit. The tannins are formidable but ripe, showing classic Barbaresco backbone. This is built for decades. Drink 2023-2035.

Gaja

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.
