1993 Gaja Barbaresco

The 1993 vintage for Barbaresco was characterized by a cool growing season, resulting in wines with high acidity and firm structure. Now over 30 years old, this wine has evolved from its youthful, grippy tannins into a "feminine" and sophisticated profile. You can expect a complex bouquet of dried red fruits (like sour cherry and raspberry), forest floor, leather, and the classic "tar and roses" aroma that defines aged Nebbiolo. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a long, savory finish.
