Mentioning Barbaresco, we inevitably associate the name of Angelo Gaja, an eminent Italian master in the creation of exceptional Nebbiolo. This Barbaresco has a lively ruby ​​garnet color. In addition, upon tasting, evident aromatic notes of citrus fruits, wild strawberries, elderflowers and a touch of white pepper are revealed. On the palate, it stands out for its full-bodied and elegant structure, with a prolonged and persistent finish. This wine also has exceptional aging potential. We suggest pairing it with delicious croutons seasoned with fondue and white truffle, asparagus flan in parmesan cream or truffle tajarin. Alternatively, it could accompany you on a tasting with meat fillet in blackberry and mint sauce, duck breast in blueberry sauce or fried eggs with asparagus and white truffle.

The Gaja winery, founded in 1859 in Barbaresco, in the heart of the Langhe, is universally recognized as an icon in the production of Barbaresco. Over the years, this historic winery has built a reputation as a brand of great importance, a symbol of the excellence of Barbaresco and of a wine that knows how to express the beauty of its territory in the glass. Thanks to their uninterrupted dedication to quality, the Gaja family has gained prominence not only nationally but also internationally within the wine industry. And, despite their close connection with the tradition of a winery with a long history, the Gaja family has always been able to adapt their production methods to the innovations of the moment.
