Angelo Gaja Barbaresco 2017 impresses with its clear lines, delicate fruit, and unobtrusive oak, typical of Gaja's Barbaresco. The winery is considered a pioneer of the modern Piedmont era and has repositioned Nebbiolo. The 2017 vintage demonstrates these characteristics in a concentrated, balanced form: aromatic, precise, with the essence of terroir. A wine that rewards patience and reveals Gaja's signature.
The nose reveals red cherry, rose, and violet, accompanied by a subtle peppery and mineral note; on the palate, the wine is elegant, with silky tannins, fresh acidity, and a long finish. The special feature of this Barbaresco lies in the perfect balance between fruit, structure, and aromatic depth – a nuance for which Gaja is internationally celebrated. Critics such as Falstaff, Parker, Robinson, Leve, and Wine Spectator praise the stylistic clarity and aging potential of this vintage.
Drinking maturity: From approximately 2022–2023, mature until approximately 2035, depending on storage. Food pairing suggestion: Suitable for tender lamb loin, braised lamb, truffle risotto, or mushroom dishes that enhance the fruity accentuation and fine tannin harmony.
