Barolo Sperss 2019, Gaja
Austere, profound, and typically mineral profile. On the nose, ripe red fruits, earth, graphite, and spicy notes emerge. On the palate, it is powerful and precise, characterized by a very tight sculptural tannin and a noble freshness that ensures remarkable aging potential; savory and persistent finish.
Barolo Sperss 2019, Gaja
The 2019 Barolo Sperss from Gaja is a monument to sculptural nobility and to the nostalgia for one of the most prestigious terroirs of Serralunga d'Alba. In a masterful and classic vintage like 2019, Angelo and Gaia Gaja have crafted an interpretation that elevates the rigor of Nebbiolo to absolute nobility. On the nose, it is an ecstasy of monumental complexity: notes of blackberry, black plum, and tar merge with deep hints of licorice, medicinal herbs, undergrowth, and a trace of blood-like and mineral elements of extraordinary nobility. On the palate, it is masterful: the entry is solemn and voluminous, supported by a noble acidic structure and a sculptural tannin, very dense and tightly woven, requiring decades to reveal its velvety nobility, ending on an endless, savory finish of absolute nobility.
