Gaja Barbaresco is a wine produced by the Gaja winery at the DOCG Barbaresco in Piedmont, Italy. Gaja is a Piedmont winery that was born from the idea of Giovanni Gaja opening a small restaurant in Barbaresco and wanting to make wine to harmonize with the food he served. In 1859, he founded the winery that is now run by the fourth generation of the family, led by Angelo Gaja, known as “the King of Barbaresco”.

The grapes used to make Gaja Barbaresco come from fourteen different plots. They are fermented separately in stainless steel tanks and rest for 12 months in small barrels. When they reach the "coupage" point, they rest for another 12 months in large vats of chestnut, known as botti.

Gaja Barbaresco is an intense red wine, complex but elegant. On the nose it offers sweet notes of ripe fruit, floral and spicy touches accompanied by a balsamic bouquet. On the palate it is subtle and elegant, bringing back nuances of fruit combined with tobacco and sweet herbs like licorice.

A well rounded wine with structure and longevity.
