Gaja’s 1990 Barbaresco shows an unbelievable level of youthfulness that absolutely defies the effects of time. Blackberry, cherry and plum are miraculously intact and immaculately preserved. This Barbaresco offers much more than a solid base of fruit to keep it relevant. The bouquet is beautifully expressive with etched mineral tones of chalk and brimstone as well as elegantly ethereal layers of balsam herb, rosemary, cola and Asian spice. The wine is drinking superbly at the moment and there’s an exciting level of tension and energy that sets it apart from the rest. The 1990 vintage was released as Angelo Gaja was enjoying one of his many career highpoints. In 1988, he purchased vineyards in the Barolo appellation (previously he purchased fruit) and his landmark Barolo Sperss was released in 1992. In the 1990s, he would expand his winemaking reach to Montalcino and Bolgheri (both in Tuscany) with additional acquisitions in those areas. The success of the 1990 vintage was a huge part of this magical moment on the Gaja timeline. With good potential for further aging, this bottle can be opened now or stored in the cellar for another decade or more. Drink: 2014-2028. Jul 2014

A stunning wine, rich, ripe and supple, balanced with beautifully realized berry, red plum, vanilla and exotic spices, smoothly playing the fruit and toasty oak character off each other. A many layered wine that is approaching drinkability. 7,500 cases made. –

Gaja
Barbaresco wäre ohne das ikonische Image von Gaja nicht, was er ist. Dieses ehrwürdige Weingut hat nicht nur weltweit Aufmerksamkeit auf die Region gelenkt, es hat auch demonstriert, welche Qualität nicht nur mit Nebbiolo, sondern auch mit “auswärtigen” Trauben erzielt werden kann. Die Firmengeschichte beginnt vor über 150 Jahren, als Giovanni Gaja 1859 eine Weinkellerei als Ergänzung zu dem Speisenangebot in seinem Restaurant gründete. Heute wird sie in der vierten und fünften Generation von Angelo Gaja und dessen Kindern betrieben. Im Laufe der Jahre ist der Name Gaja nicht nur zu einem Synonym für herausragende Qualität geworden, sondern auch für einzigartige und betörende Aromen, wie sie sonst nirgends in der Region zu finden sind. Die Lagenweine sind ein Verschnitt aus Nebbiolo und Barbera, wie alle Weine, die vor Einführung der DOCG-Bezeichnung produziert wurden. Diese Herkunfsbezeichnung aus dem Jahr 1966 schreibt 100% Nebbiolo für die Weine vor. Aus diesem Grund deklassifizierte Gaja die meisten seiner Lagenweine und nahm stattdessen die Bezeichnung Langhe Nebbiolo DOC an, um den spezifischen Stil, den er anstrebte, zu erreichen. Gaja produziert derzeit insgesamt zwölf verschiedene Piemonteser Weine, sowie sieben toskanische aus Montalcino und Bolgheri.
