Tasting Notes
Elegant nose of tar, roses, dark cherry, and licorice. More approachable than Barolo in youth, with silky tannins and vibrant acidity.
Our Review
Angelo Gaja transformed Barbaresco from a Barolo understudy into a world-class wine region. This 2019 is quintessential Gaja — modern, polished, and deeply expressive of its terroir.
