Gaja’s flagship wine and a true Italian icon. The grapes, sourced from individual single vineyards, undergo separate fermentation, maceration and maturation in oak for 12 months before being blended and aged further in oak for another 12 months. Nebbiolo is particularly affected by the small differences in the various types of soil and Gaja's blend across 14 vineyards stresses the features of the different terroir's, 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 vintage and suitable for a long bottle ageing.

Located in Piedmont in northwestern Italy, the Gaja winery is widely considered to be one of the greatest estates in the world, producing coveted and collectible labels. From its classic Barbaresco and Barolo and its single-vineyard bottlings, to its ground-breaking Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon, Gaja is both a pioneer and guardian of tradition, a legacy that continues to reshape the standard for excellence in the world of winemaking today.
