Gaja Barbaresco 1985
Varietal: Nebbiolo
Region: Piemonte
About the Producer
Angelo Gaja honors his winemaking heritage in this traditional Barbaresco bottling. This Barbaresco constitutes the sole “proper” Barbaresco in Gaja’s wine portfolio, as it is a pure-varietal expression of the Nebbiolo grape. Of significant interest is the fact that he continues to employ some of the largest and oldest botti in Piemonte to craft this traditional-style Barbaresco—an homage to both his grandfather and father. Nevertheless, following a maceration period of three weeks, Gaja matures his straight Barbaresco in barrique for a period of 12 months; thereafter, the wine sees an equivalent period in botti (cask).
Though Gaja is considered a pioneer for his work in the vinification of single-vineyard wines—Sorì San Lorenzo, Sorì Tilden, and Costa Russi—his straight Barbaresco bottling remains a classic representation of traditional Barbaresco, one that is crafted for long-term aging. |
