Barbaresco DOCG 2016 Gaja

The Barbaresco di Gaja comes from the union of grapes from 14 vineyards located in the heart of the Barbaresco DOC.

It is produced exclusively with Nebbiolo grapes. Maceration and fermentation take place in stainless steel tanks for about 3 weeks, then the wine ages in barriques for 12 months and in traditional barrels for a further 12 months.

This Barbaresco is characterized by a ruby red color, typical of the Nebbiolo variety. The nose opens with hints of berries and plums, enriched with pleasant aromas of licorice and coffee. On the palate it results with a dense and elegant structure. The wine has a long finish, with very fine tannins.

Perfect to accompany first courses with meat sauce and roasts, it is ideal in combination with game, cold cuts and aged cheeses.
