Sensory Profile & Usage

The Gaja Barbaresco DOCG 2014 offers an alluring bouquet of aromas, typical of aged Nebbiolo, including dried cherries, rose petals, hints of leather, and earthy undertones, evolving into more complex notes of spice and truffle with further bottle age. On the palate, it is dry and full-bodied, with a firm tannic structure that is beautifully integrated, balanced by refreshing acidity and a long, persistent finish. To fully appreciate its nuances, it is recommended to decant this vintage Italian wine at least an hour before serving at a temperature of 16-18°C (60-64°F). Optimal storage conditions involve keeping the bottle horizontally in a dark, cool cellar with consistent temperature and humidity. The Gaja Barbaresco 2014 is a versatile food wine, pairing exquisitely with rich dishes such as roasted game, braised meats, truffle-infused risotto, and aged cheeses. Its elegance also makes it a superb wine to savor on its own, reflecting on its history and potential for future development.
