✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Gaja Single Vineyard Assortment Case represents the pinnacle of Piedmontese winemaking, showcasing Angelo Gaja's revolutionary vision that redefined Italian wine on the global stage. This curated collection typically features Gaja's legendary single-vineyard Nebbiolo masterpieces from the Langhe: Sori San Lorenzo, Sori Tildin, and Costa Russi. Each vineyard tells a unique story of terroir and heritage. 'Sori' translates to the first spot on a hill where the snow melts, indicating prime south-facing exposure. Sori Tildin is named in honor of Angelo's grandmother, Clotilde Rey, who taught him that quality requires no compromise, while Costa Russi honors the vineyard's historical tenant. Sori San Lorenzo, named after the patron saint of Alba, is celebrated for its powerful, brooding structure. Historically classified as Barbaresco, Angelo famously declassified these wines to Langhe DOC in the late 1990s to allow a small blending of Barbera for acidity balance, before returning them to their historic DOCG status in recent vintages. Crafted with meticulous green harvesting, fermentation in stainless steel, and aging in a combination of active French barriques and traditional large Slavonian oak casks, these wines offer an unparalleled expression of Nebbiolo's complex aromatics of tar, roses, and dark cherries, backed by muscular, age-worthy tannins.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Gaja blev grundlagt i 1859 af Giovanni Gaja i landsbyen Barbaresco i Piemonte og har siden udviklet sig til et af verdens mest berømte og visionære vinhuse. Ejendommen opnåede for alvor international stjernestatus under Angelo Gajas skelsættende ledelse. Han revolutionerede italiensk vinavl ved at gå forrest med grøn høst, temperaturstyret gæring, lagring på franske barriques samt enkeltmarksblandinger. I dag skaber familien – side om side med legendariske Nebbiolo-fortolkninger som Barbaresco, Sorì San Lorenzo og Sperss – skelsættende hvidvine som Gaia & Rey, fornem grappa samt anmelderroste vine fra deres toskanske ejendomme i Bolgheri og Montalcino. Med kompromisløs kvalitet og innovation forenet med dyb respekt for traditionerne frembringer familien Gaja intenst udtryksfulde, strukturerede og lagringsværdige mesterværker, som definerer moderne italiensk vinkunst.
