Description

Barolo "Sperss" embodies the elegant and complex, profound, and multifaceted facets of the great wines of Serralunga d'Alba. Founded in the Barbaresco region, the Gaja winery has since acquired particularly prized parcels in the Barolo region. An innovator and experimenter, Angelo Gaja has always dedicated his energies to the pursuit of uncompromising quality. Today, his wines represent the absolute pinnacle of Italian production, and his name is recognized among the world's leading winemakers. The grapes come from the Marenca and Rivette vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba and are grown on prized clay-limestone marl. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, and the wine ages for 12 months in barriques and a further 12 months in large oak barrels.

Tasting notes

It has a rather intense garnet red color. The nose is multifaceted, with aromas of small berries, floral nuances of violet, delicately spicy notes, and hints of undergrowth, humus, and leather. The palate is deep, long, and complex. It unfolds harmoniously on a dense and elegant tannic texture, leading the palate to a persistent and pleasantly fresh finish.

Cellar

Angelo, together with the constant support of his wife Lucia and children Gaia, Rossana, and Giovanni, has succeeded in establishing the Gaja winery worldwide, thanks to a commitment and vision that have literally shaped not only Barbaresco and Nebbiolo wines, but the entire wine market in recent decades. The Gaja winery, located in the historic center of Barbaresco, creates wines that have become cult classics for every wine enthusiast.
Red and white wines that demonstrate exquisite class and unique longevity. Wines that combine tradition and modernity like perhaps no other, and that reveal their natural elegance in the glass.
With over 92 hectares of estate-owned vineyards managed with full respect for nature and the ecosystem, the winery averages around 350,000 bottles per year, including both distinctive red wines and excellent white wines. Thanks to the winery's cohesive family management—the entire family is involved in the supply chain—Gaja wines have become legendary: just think that the 1985 Barbaresco Gaja was named by Wine Spectator as the best wine ever produced in Italy.
Gaja wines have a unique and unmistakable style, and since the mid-1990s, the Gaja winery's fame has spread from Piedmont to Tuscany, thanks in part to the ambitious Ca' Marcanda project: here, Bordeaux-style wines such as “Promis,” “Magari,” and “Camarcanda” are born, characterized by a personality comparable to the greatest Barbarescos.
