Gaja Barolo Sperss 2014

Red
Barolo, Italy
7.8

Dark cherry and plum show appealing depth, but this Sperss feels restrained for the site. The oak dominates a leaner frame, lacking the explosive mid-palate richness that makes this cru special. Well-made but missing the power and density of great vintages.

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.
