Vinification

Grapes from 40+ year old vines across 14 vineyards are macerated, fermented, and aged separately in oak for 12 months before being blended and aged another 12 months in oak.

Notes from critics

Gaja has really established itself as the gold standard for Barbaresco and this representation really demonstrates just why that is. There those tell-tale floral notes, ripe red berries, baking spices, and oh those tannins. Let this one sit for a few years if you can. If you cannot, decant for at least an hour. Great wines should not be rushed.

96

A pale ruby, and blended from 14 vineyard sites, the 2020 Barbaresco was tasted as a barrel sample. Spicy and pure, it is full of red berries with Asian spice and white pepper. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with elegance and refinement throughout, approachable and fine tannins, no harsh edges, and a long-lasting floral finish. This seem to be a vintage that will drink well early but have plenty of longevity as well.

95

So many aromas of fresh rose petals as well as hibiscus tea. Medium-bodied with crunchy and flowery character with sliced strawberries and a bright finish. So appealing with lovely structure. Chewy at the end.
