"Surprisingly dark in color for this age of Nebbiolo, with bricking at the rim. Absolutely heavenly floral and perfumey nose. Roses, tar, meat, and perfumes all mixed together into a terribly complex stunning nose. Rich a supple with greeat midpalate texture and focus. Layers of flavor on the palate, more tar, perfume, black liquorice, dark fruits, cool umami flavours, and still with a good fine tannic grip." Cellar Tracker

Gaja

The story of the Gaja Winery can be traced to a singular founding purpose: to produce original wines with a sense of place which reflect the tradition and culture of those who made it. This philosophy has inspired five generations of impeccable winemaking. It started over 150 years ago when Giovanni Gaja opened a small restaurant in Barbaresco making wine to complement the food he served. In 1859 he founded the Gaja Winery producing some of the first wine from Piedmont to be bottled and sold outside the region. Ever since the winery has been shaped by each generation’s hand notably that of Angelo Gaja. Under Angelo's direction the the native Nebbiolo grape was elevated to world-class esteem.
