Gaja acquired this vineyard in 1988 and named it “Sperss” after the local dialect for “nostalgia.” This dense, massy red displays its Serralunga characteristics in the licorice, asphalt, smoke and prominent sweet, dark fruits with hints of earth and spice on the nose and its palate of earth, black cherries and tar. A long finish, fantastic balance and tannins like a steel fist in a velvet glove make this wine one of IWM’s fastest selling.
- Country: Italy
- Region: Piemonte
- Subregion: Langhe Rosso
While rooted in the tradition of the Langhe, Angelo Gaja recognizes the Nebbiolo grape’s inherent flexibility that allows it to bend to the market’s desire for both oak-driven and tannic styles. Gaja has enriched this foundation with an open-minded sensibility that marries traditional practices and technological innovation, thereby extending Piemonte’s international reach. Gaja’s wines are among the world’s most acclaimed and sought-after bottlings. Gaja’s wines appreciate, trading at premium prices and invariably elevating the price standard in Piemonte, where Gaja’s primary 250-acre estate is located in the Barbaresco and Barolo districts. Striking, profound and age-worthy, Gaja's wines display opulence and elegance. When collectors consider Italian wines for their cellar, Gaja is one of the first names they purchase, and for good reason. Gaja is the gold standard.
