The Gaja house, an icon among Italian wine producers, embodies excellence, innovation and a rich family history that goes back several generations.
Founded in 1859 in Barbaresco, Piedmont, by Giovanni Gaja, the Gaja family has long been associated with the relentless pursuit of quality and the redefinition of standards in the world of wine.

Angelo Gaja, an emblematic figure in the family, played a central role in transforming the house into an internationally renowned company. Angelo introduced modern viticultural practices and pioneered the use of new grape varieties and French barrels, contributing to the Piedmont region's rise on the world wine scene.

The family also owns vineyards in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany, producing red wines from varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Gaja Barbaresco 2016 embodies all the richness and depth of Piedmont's terroir, with a perfect balance between tradition and modernity. This wine is distinguished by its deep ruby-red color, typical of great Barbarescos, which heralds a complex aromatic profile.
On the nose, this 2016 vintage reveals an impressive palette of aromas, oscillating between ripe red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, and spicier, slightly peppery notes, with nuances of tobacco and leather adding beautiful depth.
In the background, floral scents typical of Nebbiolo, such as rose and violet, mingle subtly with hints of vanilla and leather.
On the palate, this Barbaresco is equally impressive. It offers an elegant attack, with fine, well-integrated tannins that ensure a silky texture. Fruity cherry and raspberry flavors mingle with hints of spice and damp earth, giving a lovely complexity.
The structure is robust yet well-balanced, with fresh acidity lending liveliness and a long, persistent finish.
This wine is an excellent representative of the Barbaresco terroir, with its dominant Nebbiolo blend, and reflects the Gaja family's meticulous approach to sublimating this grape while enhancing the appellation's typicity. Drink now to enjoy its freshness and richness, or cellar to see its evolutionary potential.
This Gaja Barbaresco 2016 is an exceptional wine, perfect with meat dishes in sauce or mature cheeses.
