Gaja 2020 Barbaresco

Gaja's Barbaresco 2020 is a masterpiece that unfolds with a captivating appearance, displaying a rich and inviting color. The nose is a symphony of aromas, featuring prominent notes of strawberry, red fruit, and cherry. These fragrances create a sensorial journey, setting the stage for a palate that exudes excellence. The integration of tannins is a highlight, showcasing a more rounded profile than its predecessor in 2019. The tannins, though gentle, contribute to a graceful and harmonious texture on the palate. As the wine evolves, blackberry, orange, and floral notes emerge, adding layers to the already delicate and voluminous finish. Gaja's Barbaresco 2020 is characterized by precise and complex fruit expressions, coupled with clean and elegant aromas. While already approachable, the wine promises to evolve beautifully over time, with the inherent presence of fruit acting as a guarantee of its aging potential.

Antonio Galloni - 94 Points

"The 2020 Barbaresco is a very young wine. In most years, the Gaja Barbaresco is quite showy, but the 2020 clearly needs time. There's terrific fruit intensity, but the aromatics aren't quite expressive. These days the Gaja wines have less oak imprint, which pushes the fruit forward, but also yields a wine that is a bit more austere in the early going."
