Barolo Sperrs 1993, Gaja
Savory and classic with a deep garnet colour, the Barolo Sperrs 1993, Gaja is a Nebbiolo blend that reveals aromatics of red fruits, and truffles with a sweet leathery twist. On the palate, dry, and medium-bodied with good freshness given the age. Round and balanced with firm tannins. Fairly long. This wine pair swell lamb.
Barbaresco 1989, Gaja
Angelo Gaja, a legend in his lifetime and the producer of the Gaja Barbaresco 1989 which is expertly blended from 100 percent Nebbiolo grape to provide a bouquet of red fruit. Dry with a satisfying palate, this outstanding red wine is an excellent choice to accompany beef, lamb, game and pasta cuisine.
Langhe Sperss 1997, Gaja
The Gaja Langhe Sperss 1997 is expertly blended from the Nebbiolo grape to provide an earthy and fruity aroma. A superb Sperss, with refined aromas of minerals, flowers, berries and just a hint of mint. Full-bodied and powerful, with chewy tannins and a long berry, cherry and mineral aftertaste. Impressive structure. This red wine is an excellent choice to accompany beef, lamb, game and pasta cuisine. Best after 2005. 2,000 cases made. Gaja was never a great sustainer of the thesis that Barbaresco/Barolo should be 100 per cent Nebbiolo. In the late 1990s, Gaja decided to re-classify his Barolos, Sperss and Conteisa, as Langhe Nebbiolo DOC, which permits an addition of 15% of other grapes recommended or authorized for the province of Cuneo (could be Barbera or Cabernet Sauvignon; Gaja claims the former).
Barolo Sperss 1990, Gaja
The 1990 Gaja Langhe Sperrs now re-classified as Gaja Barolo Sperrs is expertly blended from 100% Nebbiolo grape to provide an aroma of roses, black fruits, smoke and a hint of tar. Outstanding, full-bodied with a moderately tannic finish, this wine is an excellent choice to accompany beef, lamb, game and pasta cuisine.
Barolo La Serra 1997, Marcarini
The Marcarini Barolo La Serra 1997 is expertly blended from the Nebbiolo grape. Full-bodied with soft tannins and a fruity, pretty aftertaste. Notes of strawberry, mineral and plum, with hints of mint. Up-front, delicious, well-balanced and round with a velvet texture and fresh acidity, this wine is an excellent choice to accompany beef, lamb, game and pasta cuisine. Better with bottle age.
Barolo Castiglione 1995, Oddero
Featuring a ruby red colour with light garnet reflections, the Oddero Barolo Castiglione 1995 is expertly blended from the Nebbiolo grape to provide wonderfully deep fruit aromas that mingle with smoke, tar and wet earth in this dense but elegant Barolo. Ripe but not overdone, subtle oak accents shine the spotlight and ripe fruit. Tannins are firm but also ripe and sweet. With a long-lasting palate, this wine pairs well with beef, lamb, game and pasta.
Langhe Darmagi 2000, Gaja
Expertly crafted from Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo grapes, the Langhe Darmagi 2000 displays an intense ruby red colour. Aromas and flavors of berries, earth and lightly toasted oak follow through to a full-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a long finish. Pure cabernet Sauvignon. This dry red wine is an excellent choice to pair with meat and game cuisine.
