Gaja, Barbaresco 2015

Gaja

Case Format: 6x75cl

Barbaresco earned its DOCG in 1980, in part thanks to the relentless efforts of Angelo Gaja. This is the flagship wine of the Gaja family, and a benchmark Barbaresco for the region. Blended from 14 vineyards, the final result is sumptuous and supple. The final blend stresses the features of the different terroirs of each vineyard, thus creating a complex and balanced wine. The bouquet smells of soft fruits, flowers, delicate spices and mineral notes. The structure is dense but elegant. It has a lingering finish with refined tannins. Each GAJA Barbaresco is the faithful expression of the production year and is suitable for a long bottle ageing.

A rich and layered Barbaresco with cedar and plums, as well as light leather and rose aromas that follow to a full yet balanced palate and a chewy finish. Very polished. Drink in 2020, but already beautiful.

Richard Hemming MW

Plenty of perfume on the nose, dried cranberry, tobacco leaf, and bitter-cherry notes. Really quite light in body, with strident acid and very finely buffed tannic grip – firm but approachable. Delicate aromatic quality, with a juniper note to finish. A little dilute, but the quality of flavours is very good. (RH)
