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
Le Barbaresco ne serait pas ce qu’il est aujourd’hui sans l’emblématique Gaja et sa renommée. Ce domaine vénérable a non seulement attiré l’attention du monde entier sur le Barbaresco, mais il a également démontré le potentiel qualitatif de cépages autres que le nebbiolo, notamment des variétés exogènes. C’est en 1859, que Giovanni Gaja a décidé de fonder une cave afin d’assurer l’approvisionnement de son restaurant en vins aptes à se marier avec ses plats. Aujourd’hui, la société est dirigée par les 4ème et 5ème générations, Angelo Gaja et ses enfants. En 150 ans, le domaine s’est métamorphosé et les vins tranchent avec le style régional, non seulement en raison de leur niveau qualitatif mais également pour leur caractère unique. Les sélections parcellaires sont assemblées à partir de nebbiolo et barbera, comme tous les vins régionaux avant l’entrée en scène de la dénomination DOCG. Celle-ci, introduite en 1966, rend obligatoire l’élaboration de vins issus à 100% de nebbiolo. D’où la décision d’Angelo de déclasser une grande partie de ses sélections parcellaires pour commercialiser ses vins sous la dénomination Langhe Nebbiolo DOC, cela afin d’affiner le style particulier qu’il recherchait. A présent, Gaja propose au total 12 vins du Piémont, de même que 7 vins toscans de Montalcino et Bolgheri.
