Product Notes

Crafted from Italy's renowned Gaja Winery, the IDDA Etna Rosso wine is an iconic blend. It's sourced from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, which imparts a unique flare to its character. The wine unveils a captivating bouquet of ripe cherries, wild berries, smoked earth, and aromatic herbs. This medium-bodied sensation offers a tantalising palate of layered flavours, precise minerality and balanced freshness. Compact yet soft, with smooth tannins, it culminates in a persistent finish. Gaja IDDA Etna Rosso wine presents an extraordinary Sicilian experience, reflecting an exquisite infusion of traditionalism and modern winemaking agility.

Tasting Notes

Intense and bright ruby color. Violet, black cherry and mulberry notes rise from the glass. 2019 IDDA has a clear expression of ripe and sweet fruit on the palate, yet shows accents of tomato leaves and oregano. With a charming and juicy body, characterized by harmony and freshness, with ripe and well-integrated tannins. The finish is lingering.

About the Winery

Gaja

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.
