The wine

Description and technical sheet

Some vintages deserve a bottle designed for memorable occasions. Gaja Barbaresco 2021 in the 1.5-litre Magnum format brings together the legacy of a landmark Langhe estate, the character of a highly regarded vintage and an elegant presentation box. It is a distinctive choice for a celebratory gathering, a significant gift or a carefully planned wine collection.

Fourteen vineyards, one Barbaresco

The wine is made from 100% Nebbiolo drawn from 14 vineyards in the municipality of Barbaresco. Together, the plots cover approximately 21.4 hectares at 250–330 metres above sea level, with vines averaging around forty years old. Separate vinification preserves the identity of each vineyard before blending produces the estate’s signature Barbaresco, a wine rooted in the Gaja family history since 1859.

The 2021 growing season and oak ageing

The 2021 season followed a cold winter and spring frost, then a relatively dry summer. Rain in late August and September supported gradual Nebbiolo ripening; harvesting in Barbaresco began on 21 September. Fruit from each vineyard is fermented and macerated separately. The individual lots spend 12 months in oak before blending and undergo another 12 months of oak maturation afterwards.

Precise fruit, elegant tannins and critical acclaim

The 2021 combines red berry fruit, floral tones and delicate spice. Cherry, raspberry and strawberry mingle with flowers, liquorice and subtle mineral notes. The palate is composed and persistent, supported by fine, well-defined tannins. The vintage has earned 95/100 from Falstaff and 96/100 from Wine Advocate, both specifically awarded to the 2021 Barbaresco.

Why choose the boxed Magnum?

The 1.5-litre bottle makes this wine an impressive centrepiece for sharing and an appealing format for those interested in following its development under suitable cellar conditions. The presentation box lends it an additional sense of occasion. At the table, it pairs well with feathered game such as wild duck or pheasant.
