Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, the Gaja 2021 Barolo Sperss is marked by a distinctive ferrous note of rusty nail or soft earth that frames a core of dark fruit. The wine is exceptionally balanced and beautiful with depth and a high level of fruit purity. Unlike the Conteisa, which ends with a sweeter floral note, this wine is decidedly salty and stony on the finish, giving it a harder edge in terms of structure.

Description
Gaja Sperss, this wine is one of the most renowned and prestigious labels, not only of Angelo Gaja's winery, but of the entire appellation. It has always been a symbol of class and elegance. The Barolo "Sperss" has built its myth thanks to the grapes of the most sought-after cru of Serralunga d'Alba and to vinification and ageing processes that bring out the best qualities of Nebbiolo. The dedication and passion to achieve the highest quality have elevated this wine to the rank of Langhe's greatest reds.
Winemaking
The grapes come from the Marenca and Rivette vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba, grown on clay-limestone loam soils. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and the wine matures for 12 months in French oak barrels and a further 12 months in oak foudres.
Taste
Gaja Sperss is an iconic wine of the Langhe region, reserved for connoisseurs and lovers of high quality wines. It has a deep garnet red colour. Its olfactory profile is multifaceted, with aromas of forest fruits, floral nuances of violet, delicate spicy notes, sensations of undergrowth, humus and leather. The palate is deep, long and complex. It unfolds harmoniously over a dense and elegant tannic texture, leading the palate towards a persistent and fresh finish.
