Barbaresco docg Gaja 2007

Angelo Gaja has managed to change some aspects in the oenology of Piedmont, thanks to his ideas and tenacity. The Gaja Barbaresco wine is produced starting from a selection of the best grapes deriving from 14 different vineyards collocated in the districts of Treiso and Barbaresco. This is an elegant wine that expresses different personalities according to the years. Its colour is a kind of dark red, with some orange nuances, while the smell reveals hints of vanilla, and fruited perfumes of mature red fruit, jam, humus, tobacco and licorice. The taste is really fresh and mineral and this gives it a great structure and nobility. Moreover, it is endowed with a particular capacity of aging and so it is perfect in combination with important platters, as roasts, game and seasoned cheeses.

The cave was built in 1859 in Barbaresco, in the centre of the Langhe, and all along it is recognized as one of the name-symbol in the production of Barbaresco. From the creator Giovanni to Angelo Gaja, this family has earned a great reputation in wine’s sector thanks to its attentive pursuit of quality. In the 60s years Angelo Gaja has decided to innovate the traditions and to import new productive techniques: from the destruction of the production for hectare to a greater control of fermentation temperatures, from the use of the barrique to the replacement of longer tops. The past as experience, the future as purpose: this is the philosophy of this successful winery.
