Fine and Rare Collection
Gaja Description
Gaja Barbaresco bursts to life with a vibrant, expressive nose filled with ripe cherry, strawberry, and raspberry, all lifted by sweet notes of juniper, pink pepper, and a whisper of rose. On the palate, it shows beautiful volume and depth, carried by elegant, silky tannins that glide effortlessly. Its signature brightness shines through, finishing with a refreshing citrus twist that practically begs for another sip. Pair it with truffle risotto, wild mushroom pasta, roasted duck, or aged cheeses to elevate its lively, sophisticated character even further.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
Showing that Gaja Midas Touch, the 2022 Barbaresco is a seamless wine with a long, polished mouthfeel. This vintage saw 10% whole-cluster fruit. That fermentation method started on an experimental level in 2021, but it's giving encouraging results, Giovanni Gaja tells me, because it reinforces impressions of freshness, especially in the hot years. This Barbaresceo shows Nebbiolo purity, while remaining chiseled and elegant all the while. The bouquet peels off to reveal pretty layers of crushed rose, stone and plump fruit. The tannins are beautifully balanced.
Antonio Galloni: 94 Points
The 2022 Barbaresco is a pure and total seduction. Pluch contous and lifted aromatics make a strong first impression. Cedar, toabacco, new leather, licorice meld into a core of red Nebbiolo fruit. A wine of density and texture, the 2022 is outrageously beautiful. High class
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Cherry, plum, earth and leafy, vegetal flavors hold court in this juicy yet firmly structured red. Coiled tightly on the finish, with dallying accents of fruit and savory. Best from 2029 through 2043. 750 cases imported.
