"Gaja's Cuvée Sito Moresco Langhe DOP" is an elegant red wine where "Nebbiolo" and "Barbera" grapes are combined into a unique blend. This cuvée is known for its easily approachable style and ability to express the diversity of grape varieties of the Langhe terroir.
Subtle hints of cherries and strawberries create a harmonious blend of floral elegance and vibrant fruit flavors. The palate is dominated by fruity character, with citrus and floral accents also emerging. The taste is juicy, with floral notes lingering alongside a licorice aroma.
Grapes are brought from Serralunga. Fermented and macerated separately for three weeks. After malolactic fermentation, the grapes are blended and aged in oak for 12 months.
Serve at 16-18 °C with pizza, pasta, meat stews and roasted chestnuts.
The Gaja family settled in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy in the mid-17th century. They have been producing wine in the Barbaresco area since 1859. Four generations of dedicated work and a noble pursuit of making top-quality wines have made the Gaja name synonymous with Italian winemaking excellence worldwide. Today, the fifth generation – Gaia, Giovanni, and Rossana Gaja – continues the family traditions, leading this legendary winery.
Currently, Gaja in Piedmont produces both classic expressions of the ‘Nebbiolo’ grape – Barbarescos and Barolos – and innovative “Langhe DOC” red and white wines from international grape varieties. The family also owns two estates in Tuscany: “Ca’Marcanda” in Bolgheri, famous for its “Super Tuscan” wines, and “Pieve S. Restituta” in the Montalcino area, producing “Brunello di Montalcino” wines. Additionally, a joint project with Alberto Graci in Sicily, at the foot of Mount Etna, testifies to the family’s constant pursuit of innovation and quality.
The Gaja family firmly believes that the true spirit and quality of wine are born in the vineyards themselves. Therefore, the greatest attention is paid to vineyard care: searching for climate change-resistant clones, limiting yields, growing other crops between vineyard rows to enrich the soil and help retain moisture and protect the harvest from heat. The highest quality standards are applied to all farms: grapes are grown only in family-owned vineyards, adhering to ecological and sustainability principles, with particular attention to soil quality and biodiversity.
