Barbaresco Gaja 1976
750 ml Nebbiolo Piedmont, Italy 1976
Barbaresco Gaja 1976 is a dry, full-bodied red from Nebbiolo (Barbaresco, Italy), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are firm and acidity very high; oak influence is little. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 50-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with beef stew, mushroom risotto, steak, lamb.
