Sperss Gaja 1999
750 ml Nebbiolo Piedmont, Italy 1999
Sperss Gaja 1999 is a dry, full-bodied red from Nebbiolo (Piedmont, Italy), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are very firm and acidity very high; oak influence is little. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 27-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with beef stew, mushroom risotto, steak, lamb.
