The wine
Description and technical sheet
The Barolo DOCG Sperss 2016 by Gaja is a powerful and refined expression of Nebbiolo, one of the most prestigious varieties in Piedmont. "Sperss" is a Piedmontese term meaning "nostalgia," reflecting the Gaja family's long wait to reacquire the vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba, a historic area for Barolo production. This wine is crafted from a careful selection of grapes from the family's vineyards in Serralunga, where the terroir imparts a robust structure and unique aromatic complexity. The 2016 vintage was exceptional, with perfectly balanced weather that allowed for slow and even ripening of the grapes. After a meticulous hand harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine then matures for about 30 months in oak barrels, a process that develops its complexity and depth.
Barolo Sperss 2016: Tasting Notes
The Barolo Sperss 2016 presents a deep, intense garnet red color. On the nose, it offers a complex and seductive bouquet with aromas of ripe black fruits like blackberry and plum, accompanied by notes of sweet spices, tobacco, licorice, and a hint of menthol. On the palate, the wine is structured and full-bodied, with firm yet elegantly integrated tannins that provide a pleasant roundness. The finish is long and persistent, with an aftertaste of dark chocolate and spices, inviting a rich and unforgettable tasting experience. The Barolo Sperss 2016 is a wine that best represents the greatness of Nebbiolo and the mastery of the Gaja family, perfect for pairing with red meat dishes, game, or aged cheeses, and ideal for long aging.
