Description
The 2020 Gaja Barbaresco is a light ruby wine with a brilliant translucence. This vintage is sleek, powerful, and brightly fruited, with fine mineral tannins and aromatic notes of peppery red berries, Asian spices, red cherry, and wild strawberry. It is medium-bodied and ultra-pure, showcasing floral nuances and a touch of salty red liquorice. The finish is creamy, with stony tannins and a crushed limestone minerality, followed by tangy red cherry. Rated 96/100 by Wine Safari, it’s a stunning expression of Nebbiolo that is elegant now but will improve over the next 4-5 years.
