Barolo Sperss 2019 Nebbiolo Langhe Angelo Gaja Piedmont - Italy Red G01

In 1988 the Gaja family purchased twelve hectares of vineyard in one of the best positions in Serralunga. The land was named Sperss, a Piedmontese dialect word meaning nostalgia, that of Giovanni Gaja (Angelo’s father) for the childhood memories linked with Serralunga.

Angelo Gaja is Italy`s most renowned and dynamic wine personality and his impact on wine production in the last 30 years cannot be overestimated. Angelo Gaja took over the family business in 1970 and, as he says: "The challenge was to maintain the basic power and depth of Nebbiolo while polishing the wines to give them richer color, fuller fruit, better balance and a more refined style."

The wine opens up with dominant citrus notes followed by hints of cedar and spices.
Complex aromas of juniper, cherry, and ripe plum rise from the glass. Marzipan, sweet spices, turmeric, and licorice from the wood add another layer of flavor.
However, it’s a light use of wood that’s balanced with delicate sweetness, fresh spice notes, and tannins, present but not intrusive in the mouth.
The wine finishes clean, sharp, yet austere.
