In a few years it will be a beauty

Sampled at a trade tasting, the distributor told me that in the 2012 vintage the winery did not bottle their single-vineyard Barbaresco wines, rather this is a blend of all three sites. It's elegant as Gaja wines are wont to be, with caressing notes of tart pie cherries, red forest berries, lilting spice and feminine florality. Fine, supple tannins coat the entire palate, its a beautifully structured wine with length that suspends itself over the tongue. Finishes with nuanced minerality and a pinch of dried mint. Sample

Sommelier/Wine Merchant East End Cellars

Impressively light-bodied and barbaresco-like. Brutal tannins at the moment. Probably the most enjoyable Gaja I've had.

Rob Mondavi

Owner/President of Winemaking Folio Fine Wine Partners

Superb. Crisp lively elegant.

Jörgen Lindström Carlvik

Owner, Brix Wine Consultants

Gorgeous aromas with high pitched floral notes, pure fruit and well handled tannins and juicy, fresh acidity for balance. Long and more-ish.

Peter Slagowitz

Dark damp earth. Muted dark fruit. A bit young but a very nice well structured wine.

Agrivino

Probably needs a few more years. Harsch tannins and a strong resemblence to Barolo.
