A Barbaresco that stands out for an intense garnet red colour and that enchants the nose with distinctive aromas of citrus fruits, wild strawberries, elderflowers and white pepper. As seductive and fascinating as few can be, it wraps the palate in a full-bodied and elegant way, with silky tannins and a long and persistent finish. For its extraordinary aging potential, which can last up to 40 years, it is the ideal wine to capture a memory, for an important gift, to seal the magic of a moment. Its splendid organoleptic profile, which adds an important element to the history of Italian enology, makes it the ideal wine to pair with game and red meat dishes, as well as game and aged cheeses.
The centerpiece of the portfolio, Gaja Barbaresco is a testament to the Gaja family's historic commitment to the appellation and its belief that Barbaresco stands proudly with the great growing regions of the world. The Gaja winery stopped sourcing fruit from other growers in 1961 in order to ensure the utmost quality in its wines. In all, Gaja Barbaresco is produced using grapes grown in 14 vineyards in the villages of Barbaresco and Treiso.
95 Points - James Suckling
So many aromas of fresh rose petals as well as hibiscus tea. Medium-bodied with crunchy and flowery character with sliced strawberries and a bright finish. So appealing with lovely structure. Chewy at the end.

A pale ruby, and blended from 14 vineyard sites, the 2020 Barbaresco was tasted as a barrel sample. Spicy and pure, it is full of red berries with Asian spice and white pepper. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with elegance and refinement throughout, approachable and fine tannins, no harsh edges, and a long-lasting floral finish. This seem to be a vintage that will drink well early but have plenty of longevity as well.

This round red is woven with cherry, raspberry, mineral, eucalyptus and hay flavors. Balanced, with a good dose of well-integrated tannins that lend support on the lively finish.
