Product Notes

Gaja Barbaresco wine is an illustrious Italian red wine, an embodiment of elegance and sophistication. Deftly crafted from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Piedmont region, it captivates with an alluring amber hue and harmonises velvety texture with a robust body. The wine flaunts an exquisite bouquet brimming with scents of ripe red fruit, sweet spices and floral notes underscored by earthy undertones. Offering a layered complexity on the palate, it delivers refined tannins with generous depth of dark berries, leather and tobacco subtle notes, culminating in a lingering finish. Perfect for special occasions or as a meticulous collector's choice.

Tasting Notes

2019 Barbaresco has glaring vivid colors thanks to a good presence of anthocyanins. It immediately brings out notes of rose and wild strawberries followed by lighter notes of marzipan, wild fennel and a hint of juniper. Tasting saline, the wine has good length and a perception of crisp red fruits balanced by bright acidity. Together with the freshness and a tense structure, they define the main characteristics of the 2019 vintage.

About the Winery

Nestled in the verdant hills of Barbaresco, Italy, you'll discover the esteemed Gaja Winery. Founded in 1859, it is a testament to the enduring passion the Gaja family holds for the art of viticulture, and their commitment to producing some of the finest wines in the world.

The Gaja Winery is known for pioneering techniques that have fundamentally transformed the face of Italian winemaking. Angelo Gaja, the brilliant mind behind many of these innovations, has been instrumental in putting Italian wines on the international stage. Not only did he introduce the use of new French oak barrels in fermentation, but he was also one of the key advocates of reducing vineyard yields in order to drastically enhance the quality of grapes.

The winery's profile boasts a stunning array of white and red wines. However, it was the single-vineyard Barbaresco wines that propelled the Gaja estate onto the international stage. With a multitude of global awards, their wines are a testament to both tradition and innovation.

Additionally, much of the winery's success can be attributed to the rigorous approach to vineyard management. The terroir, enriched by the unique soil and microclimate of the region, confers exceptional complexity and flavour to the grapes. Hand-harvesting ensures that only the finest are selected and processed immediately to preserve their quality.

Yet, Gaja is more than just about quality wines; it’s about the experience. The estate itself is beautiful featuring a rustic, but elegant charm that reflects the Gaja family’s respect for nature and tradition. As you explore its historic cellars, lush vineyards and taste their exceptional wines, you'll experience the heart and soul of Italian winemaking.

From humble beginnings, to being named among Italy's most renowned wineries, Gaja Winery rightfully deserves it's place in the annals of viniculture history. It remains a beacon of quality, innovation, and a hoe: a living testament to the power of family tradition and an enduring love for the land.
