COMMENT
バルバレスコといえば、ガヤの名前が最初に来るのではないでしょうか!? 歴史ある生産者ですね。確かに美味しいです。高次元でバランスが取れています。30年以上の熟成にも応えてくれる逸品です。
残念なことにかなりの値上げとなりました。そうなるとバックヴィンテージが狙い目ですね。とは言え正規品は、リリース時に仕入れないと増々値上がりします。ご予算が許すようでしたらご検討下さいませ。
2019 Gaja Barbaresco

Gaja did not make its cru wines from Barbaresco (like Sorì San Lorenzo) in 2019 because the vineyards suffered repercussions one year after severe hail storms struck in 2018. Because of the irregularity found across the various sites, the best fruit was carefully selected and put into this wine instead. The 2019 Barbaresco is striking and beautiful as a result, with enormous depth and clarity. This is a generous wine with ample structure, lots of vibrant acidity, sweet tannins and a bright core of primary fruit. Gaia Gaja tells me that she considers 2018 to be more structured and vertical; however, but I love the richness and texture of this wine.
