Gaja Barbaresco 2017 Magnum

Gaja Barbaresco 2017 Magnum is a benchmark expression of Nebbiolo from one of the world’s most revered producers. The Gaja estate, founded in 1859, has played a pivotal role in shaping modern Piedmontese winemaking, combining tradition with innovation to elevate Barbaresco onto the global stage.

The 2017 vintage reflects both the warmth of the year and Gaja’s meticulous approach, delivering a wine of power, polish and precision. The nose is expressive and layered, with red cherry, wild strawberry and dried rose complemented by notes of spice, tobacco and subtle earth.

On the palate, it is structured yet refined, with fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity supporting a core of ripe red fruit. There is a sense of balance between richness and freshness, with complexity building through the mid-palate and carrying into a long, elegant finish.

Presented in magnum, the wine will age more slowly and gracefully, developing additional nuance and depth over time. A classic Barbaresco of stature and finesse, ideal with truffle dishes, game, braised meats and refined Italian cuisine.
