'Gaja Barolo Sperss 2020 vynas ryškiai demonstruoja Serralunga d'Alba būdingą galią ir energiją. Sperss - vynuogyno, esančio vienoje geriausių Barolo komunų Serralunga, pavadinimas.
Vynas gilus, pilnas, daugiasluoksnis, aštrokas: vyšnių, aviečių, miško paklotės, juodųjų trumų, žievės, grybų, saldymedžio ir jodo aromatų. Ilgas minerališkas poskonis sufleruoja apie ilgą šio vyno potencialą ateityje. Vynas nefiltruotas.
Vynuogių sulčių fermentacijos ir maceracijos procesas trunko 3 sav. nerūdijančio plieno talpose. Vėliau vynas brandintas 12 mėn. mažose ir 18 mėn. didelėse ąžuolo statinėse.
Patiekti 16 - 18 °C temperatūros prie sodrių žvėrienos su miško grybais patiekalų, jautienos išpjovos kepsnio ar ryškių, ilgai brandintų kietųjų sūrių pagardintų trumais
"Very spicy with deep, dark earth and forest flavours of black truffles, bark, mushrooms, liquorice and iodine. Full-bodied and very restrained, with a linear and racy palate that lingers for minutes. Gunpowder emphasises the character of the dark fruits and the forest floor. Structured. Try it after 2028."
"Showing the power and the contoured definition that is typical of Serralunga d'Alba, the Gaja 2020 Barolo Sperss is a wine of greater brawn and intensity. Yet its power remains elegantly in line with the character of the vintage. It offers a complete photograph of its territory with rusty ferrous notes, orange peel, dark fruit and licorice. There is a fun end note of dark Amarena cherry to conclude. That hint of sweetness ties into elegantly chalky tannins."
"The reduced aromas are earthy, with hints of cherry and raspberry. The flavours are fresh and lively, with fine precision and a tightly wound structure that emphasises the notes of cherry, raspberry, iron, tobacco and undergrowth. The excellent length of the mineral finish hints at the future potential of this wine."
Gaja perched a top a steep hill in the Langhe sits the small village of Barbaresco, home of the Gaja winery. The story of the Gaja Winery can be traced to a singular, founding purpose: to produce original wines with a sense of place which reflect the tradition and culture of those who made it. This philosophy has inspired five generations of impeccable winemaking. It started over 150 years ago when Giovanni Gaja opened a small restaurant in Barbaresco, making wine to complement the food he served. In 1859, he founded the Gaja Winery, producing some of the first wine from Piedmont to be bottled and sold outside the region. Since that time, the winery has been shaped by each generation’s hand, notably that of Clotilde Rey, Angelo Gaja’s grandmother. Her passion for uncompromising quality influenced and informed Angelo Gaja. Through Angelo, these values have become the cornerstone of the Gaja philosophy and are engrained in every aspect of wine productionIn 1961, Angelo Gaja began his mission of bringing this great winery to an even higher level. He was the first to use barriques, 225-liter French oak barrels. Under his direction, Gaja pioneered the production of single-vineyard designated wines and was the first to plant Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc varietals in Piedmont. He was also instrumental in elevating the native Nebbiolo grape to world-class esteem.Angelo Gaja is joined by the fifth generation of the Gaja family – his daughters Gaia and Rossana and his son Giovanni. Together they continue to advance the winery’s legacy. To fully realize their vision, all Gaja wines are produced exclusively from grapes grown in estate-owned vineyards, including 250 acres in Piedmont’s Barbaresco and Barolo districts as well as estates in Pieve Santa Restituta (Montalcino) and Ca’Marcanda (Bolgheri). It is from these storied vineyards, and their terroir – the combination of soil, weather and vines that grow upon them, that Gaja wines reveal their true heart and soul.
