Gaja Barolo Sperss 2015

Barolo, Italy

Massive and brooding, with tar, dried roses, and dark fruit building in waves. The tannins are formidable here, while mineral notes and forest floor add compelling earthiness. Oak integration feels heavy-handed, lending extra grip to an already powerful frame. Built for the long haul. Drink 2028-2045.

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.
