Mid ruby with some signs of age. Quite opulent Sangiovese nose with hints of tobacco. Seems already quite developed but shows real breeding. A little rich, dense and with fantastic acidity. Modernist, skilful, but big.

Gaja is one of the best-known wine producers in all of Italy. Originating in and still based in Barbaresco, in northwest Italy, the Gaja name remains most strongly associated with Nebbiolo-based wines, though the company now makes more wine in Tuscany than Piedmont.
