Sourced from 14 vineyard parcels around Barbaresco and Treiso, it combines depth, precision and remarkable complexity, while the large-format bottle promises especially graceful aging and an impressive presence at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2016 vintage shows a classic Barbaresco profile with a refined, translucent color and an elegant, tightly woven structure. On the nose, expect layered aromas of balsamic herbs, licorice, tar, smoke and restrained dark fruit, gradually unfolding with time in the glass.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is firm and highly focused, with polished texture, satiny mouthfeel and tannins that feel both sweetly framed and undeniably powerful. It is a wine of tension and sophistication rather than immediate generosity, and it should reward long cellaring as its aromatic complexity and depth continue to expand over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Barbaresco is made from Nebbiolo grown across 14 parcels spanning 21.4 hectares around Barbaresco and Treiso, at 250-330 meters above sea level. The vines average around 40 years of age, and yields are kept very low to preserve concentration and balance. Each parcel is harvested and vinified separately; fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine then matures for 12 months in barriques before the components are blended and the final cuvée is aged for a further 12 months in larger botti.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine pairs beautifully with rich Piedmontese dishes such as veal, braised beef, truffle risotto, game and aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16-18°C, and consider decanting for at least 1-2 hours, especially if enjoyed in its youth, to help the aromas open and soften the tannic structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGAJA is one of Italy’s most influential wine estates, with Angelo Gaja widely regarded as a pioneering force in modern Piedmont winemaking. Since taking over the family winery in 1961, he has helped define the quality benchmark for Barbaresco and beyond, while maintaining an uncompromising focus on vineyard care and low yields. Today, the fifth generation is being prepared to continue the legacy, and GAJA remains one of the region’s most celebrated names for world-class wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gaja","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122461778162,"sku":"FW-7056","price":1338.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4810\/5202\/files\/gajabarbaresco2016dobbeltmagnum-33.png?v=1777476155","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.fi\/products\/gaja-barbaresco-2016-dobbeltmagnum","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
