Descrizione

In the heart of the Piedmont Langhe, the Barolo Sperss by Gaja stands out as a noble expression of the Nebbiolo grape, cultivated on a unique and mineral-rich terroir. This Barolo DOP is born from a careful selection of grapes and an aging process that combines tradition and modernity: the wine rests in large wooden barrels that enhance its structure and complexity without overshadowing its natural elegance. In the glass, it presents an intense garnet red color and a bouquet that releases aromas of withered rose, licorice, delicate spices, and notes of ripe red fruits. On the palate, it is enveloping, with fine tannins and a long persistence that tells the story of the production area, among hills and limestone sands. Perfect to pair with robust dishes such as braised meats and aged cheeses, the Barolo Sperss represents a sensory journey into the enological excellence of the denomination.

Winery history

The Gaja family has been present in the Langhe since the second half of the 19th century; the estate, established in the community of Barbaresco, became internationally renowned thanks to its modernization choices and the bottling of wines from individual vineyards. In the 1960s and 1970s Angelo Gaja introduced single-vineyard labels and experimented with techniques and grape varieties new to the area. Over time the estate has expanded beyond the heart of the Langhe with investments and holdings in other Italian regions.
