Grape Variety:
90% Nebbiolo 10% Barbera
Tasting Note:
This Nebbiolo with a small proportion of Barbera shows spicy and fruity aromas with notes of cherries, white pepper, violet, tarragon and star anise. It has a strong, balanced structure, with juicy acidity and a lot of smooth tannins. Its palate is as complex as its fragrance and lingers long on the palate. It is a good choice with strong dishes, which will provide a lot of drinking pleasure.
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.
