Gaja Sperss Barolo DOP 2020 14% Vol. 0,75l

The Gaja Sperss Barolo DOP 2020 with 14% vol. in a 0.75 l bottle is an iconic Barolo from the heart of Piedmont that bears the unmistakable signature of Angelo Gaja - one of Italy's most important winemakers. It comes from the Langhe wine-growing region, more precisely from the Serralunga d'Alba vineyard, which is known for its powerful, structured and long-lasting Baroli. The wine is made exclusively from the noble Nebbiolo grape variety and impressively demonstrates how Gaja combines tradition and modern vinification to achieve perfect harmony.

The vines are deeply rooted in soils of marl, clay and limestone, which give the wine its distinctive minerality and depth. After maceration in steel tanks - one week at 28 °C and a further two weeks at 17 °C - the Gaja Sperss 2020 matures for 12 months in barriques before being aged for a further 12 months in large oak barrels. This two-stage ageing process ensures complexity, elegance and perfectly integrated tannins. With a maturation period until 2036, this Barolo has exceptional ageing potential and is one of Gaja's great classics - powerful, precise and timeless in its expressiveness.
