$1415.00 price per bottle
Hailing from Italy’s Piedmont region, specifically the prestigious Barolo appellation, ‘Sperss’ is one of Gaja’s most celebrated wines. Established in 1859, the Gaja family has been instrumental in shaping modern Italian winemaking, combining tradition with innovation. ‘Sperss’—which means “nostalgia” in the Piedmontese dialect—pays homage to the family’s deep-rooted connection to the Langhe terroir. Wine Description The 2019 ‘Sperss’ presents a deep garnet hue, hinting at its intensity and structure. The nose unfolds with complex aromas of dark cherry, plum, and dried rose petals, interwoven with earthy truffle, tobacco, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it delivers remarkable depth and precision, featuring ripe red and black fruits, complemented by savoury notes of leather and licorice. The full-bodied structure is supported by firm yet refined tannins, balanced acidity, and a persistent finish with hints of graphite and spice. With its layered complexity and age-worthy character, this Barolo will evolve beautifully over the next two decades. Accolades Wine Spectator - 97 points James Suckling - 99 Points Vinous - 96 points Decanter - 98 points Food Pairing Pair this exceptional Barolo with braised short ribs, truffle risotto, or aged Parmigiano-Reggiano. The wine’s structure and depth also make it a superb match for slow-cooked lamb shank or wild mushroom pasta. A perfect match to enhance the wine’s complexity. Vintage Quality The 2019 vintage in Barolo was marked by a long growing season with optimal conditions, resulting in wines of great concentration and elegance. Cooler nights preserved freshness and aromatics, contributing to a balanced and expressive Nebbiolo. This vintage highlights Gaja’s mastery in capturing both power and finesse.
