Gaja is perhaps one of the most important names in Italian fine wine and is practically synonymous with the region of Piedmont in northwest Italy. This is the flagship “entry-level” Barbaresco produced from fruit sourced from 14 vineyards and aged for 12 months each in barrique and large oak casks. From the slightly warmer 2011 vintage, this is a wonderfully deep and expressive wine that is now perfect for drinking. Pair with roasted game.
