BARBARESCO 2008, GAJA

PRODUCER NOTES

The legendary winemaker Angelo Gaja makes the unofficial first growths of northern Italy - his single vineyard Barbarescos, including Sorì San Lorenzo and Sorì Tildin. Or rather, he used to - they are no longer called Barbaresco because in 2000 he shocked everyone when he declassified them to Langhe DOC in order to blend in a bit of Barbera (forbidden for Barbaresco wines). The quality remains as high as ever. Massively tannic in their youth, these take years to come round, but have a fine structure and elegance that elevates them to the level of the finest wines in the world.
