Wine Advocate Robert Parker 96 Points

Giovanni Gaja, Angelo Gaja’s father, dreamed of producing a top Barolo alongside Barbaresco. In 1988 Angelo Gaja fulfilled the family dream and bought a vineyard in the Marenca-Rivette area in Serralunga d’Alba. Today’s legendary Barolo Sperss was born.
With its masculine and powerful structure, the Sperss is an archetype of a mighty, long-lived Barolo that has reached monumental size after a long period in the cellar.

Description

Grape: Nebbiolo

The family winery is now one of the best known in Italy and can look back on a centuries-old history. The success story of owner Angelo Gaja began in the 17th century when the family emigrated from Spain to Italy. In 1859, a member of the family, a grape producer in Barbaresco, laid the foundation for the current company by opening a tavern, which also served their own wines. The wines were already so popular at the end of the 19th century that they were supplied to the Italian army, among others. Already in the second generation of the family, an unusually high value was placed on quality, with the aim of retaining a predominantly upscale clientele.
