Product Details

Code: GAJ005C

Gaja is one of the best-known wine producers in all of Italy. Originating in and still based in Barbaresco, in northwest Italy. Gaja name remains most strongly associated with Nebbiolo-based wines, though the company now makes more wine in Tuscany than Piedmont.  The business was founded in 1859 by Giovanni Gaja with just two hectares (five acres) of vineyards in Barbaresco. Each generation saw expansion, although Angelo Gaja, who took over full-time in 1970, is often credited with the estate's more recent success. 

A wine sourced with grapes from the Sugarille vineyard which was first recorded in the inventory of Pieve parish church in 1547. It is a 100% Sangiovese varietal wine with one year in barriques and one year in large oak casks, followed by at least two years of bottle aging.

Deep garnet. Savory and compact on the nose, with aromas of raspberry, fennel and black pepper. The palate shows intense fruit concentration with notes of black currant and pomegranate. The fine grained and compact tannins lead to a chewy texture. The wine is lean and powerful, meant for long aging.
