The 2019 Gaja Barbaresco DOP is a magnificent wine that represents the pinnacle of Nebbiolo winemaking. It is a wine that is built to age and will reward patient collectors, but it is also a wine that can be enjoyed now with hearty meat dishes, such as grilled steak or roasted lamb, or rich pasta dishes. It is a testament to Gaja's commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality and character, and it is sure to delight wine enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Barbaresco pairs exceptionally well with classic Italian dishes like truffle risotto or grilled lamb chops, as its complex flavors and refined tannins complement rich and savory flavors.
On the nose, it is intense and aromatic, with a bouquet of dark fruit, such as black cherry and blackberry, mixed with floral and herbal notes, such as violet and rosemary.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with a firm tannic grip and a lively acidity that balances the wine's richness. The flavours are layered and concentrated, featuring dark fruit, such as blackcurrant and plum, mixed with hints of spices, such as black pepper and cinnamon, and a touch of vanilla.
