Gaja Barbaresco • "Possibly The Wine Of The Year"

September 09, 2024

Gaja Barbaresco, in any vintage, is the benchmark Barbaresco.  The 2021 Gaja Barbaresco is in a league of its own.  Few, if any, Nebbiolo producers can match a Gaja Barbaresco.​​​​​​​  That's why Wine Spectator has called Gaja's wines “the finest Italian wines ever made.”

​​​​​​​Get ready for a thrill. This is a stunning Barbaresco! 

A brightly jeweled ruby hue, the 2021 Barbaresco is super-expressive, with loads of wild raspberries that leap from the glass along with notes of strawberries, pressed roses, fresh orange, and violet. As it opens, it evens picks up some spice box, cigar incense, and cherry notes. Crystalline in nature and ripe, this next-level red delivers ripe, sweet tannins, great tension, and fresh, vibrant acidity without any austerity. A luxury racecar, it’s fantastic and possibly the wine of the year.”  Jeb Dunnuck

Add to your verticals if you already have Gaja in your cellar.  And, if you are new to Gaja, the 2021 Gaja Barbaresco is a superb way to begin your Gaja journey - you will realize Gaja Barbarescos are worth every penny. 

Few will have the willpower to lay this one down, so decant and enjoy!  

But, if you can wait a few years, you will look back in awe and be thrilled that you added this trophy to your collection.

Enjoy!
