Descrizione

Il Sangiovese Gamla nasce da uve Sangiovese al 100% affinate per 12 mesi in botti di rovere francese. I vigneti vengono coltivati su un’area che va dalle rive del Mar di Galilea fino alla base del Monte Hermon, ad un'altitudine che parte dai 400 m s.l.m fino ai 2100. Il suolo è a composizione vulcanica e basalto, il clima è abbastanza temperato data la vicinanza al Monte Hermon.

All’esame visivo mostra un colore rosso rubino con riflessi granato. Il bouquet è impreziosito da sensazioni fruttate di lampone, ciliegia e mandarino, con percezioni di pot-pourri, cenni terrosi e cuoio. Questo grande Sangiovese è mediamente corposo e strutturato, con un bel carattere varietale.

Un calice da abbinare a portate di carne importanti come arrosti, brasati o selvaggina e cacciagione.

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.

Production philosophy

Pursuit of quality through the enhancement of individual crus, direct management of the grapes, technical improvements in the vineyard and winery, and a focus on balancing tradition and experimentation.
