Merchant's description
Gaja is perhaps one of the most important names in Italian fine wine and is practically synonymous with the region of Piedmont in northwest Italy. This is the flagship “entry-level” Barbaresco produced from fruit sourced from 14 vineyards and aged for 12 months each in barrique and large oak casks. From the slightly warmer 2011 vintage, this is a wonderfully deep and expressive wine that is now perfect for drinking. Pair with roasted game.
