100% Nebbiolo
Tasting Note:
A great Barbaresco from the top vineyard Montestefano with great ripening potential. A finely woven fragrance fan that initially looks subtle but has a lot to say. Aromas of plum compote, rose hip tea, autumn forest, leather, meat and incense reveal themselves. On the palate the plum aromas repeat themselves, in addition to dried figs, cranberries, cocoa, some white pepper and Damascus rose petals. The spicy Barbaresco wears a tightyl woven tannin dress of very fine-grained tannins. Its strong, well-structured body and its certain fruit sweetness make it a long-distance runner that is already a great treat for hearty meat dishes.
Vinification:
In 2009, Guido Rivella, the oenologist of Gaja for the last 40 years started to produce his own wine and the wine is wondeful. 12,500 bottles were produced annually from his own 3.5 hectares using Organic Viticulture.
