Tasting Notes: Gaja Barolo Sperss 2018 Magnum

A Symphony of Flavours and Aromas

On the nose, vibrant layers of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and liquorice are intertwined with hints of juniper, dried herbs, and forest floor. As the wine opens in the glass, subtle whispers of cedar wood and sweet tobacco emerge, adding intrigue and depth.

Palate: Where Power Meets Elegance

The palate is enveloped by a vortex of dark fruits, supported by robust yet finely structured tannins. Earthy nuances and a savoury backbone guide the long, mineral-driven finish. With aeration, its soft wooded notes bring refinement, making every sip more compelling.

Winery	Today, the Gaja winery comprises 103 hectares of vineyard in the Langhe and is run by Angelo, his wife Lucia and their children Gaia, Rossana and Giovanni. The wines have never been better. Since the move back to DOP status for his Cru wines (‘Sorì San Lorenzo’, ‘Costa Russi’ and ‘Sorì Tildìn’ in Barbaresco and ‘Sperss’ in Barolo), from the 2013 vintage, the wines have displayed an ineffable elegance and remain among the very best of the region. The exceptional ‘Sperss’ Barolo is sourced from a vineyard in Serralunga, which neighbours Massolino’s ‘Margheria’ and ‘Vigna Rionda’. It is rivalled only by the ‘Sorì Tildìn’ and ‘Sorì San Lorenzo’ Barbaresco’s, which consistently impress from vintage to vintage. In addition to Gaja’s Nebbiolo-based wines, they also make a very fine Sauvignon Blanc ‘Alteni di Brassica’ and the outstanding ‘Rossj Bass’ and ‘Gaia & Rey’ Chardonnays.
