Sperss - 2013
Sperss – 2013 – Barolo DOCG
Strugurii provin din zona Marenca-Rivette din comuna Serralunga d’Alba. Â Suprafata totala cultivata aici este de 12ha, aflata la o altitudine de 300m peste nivelul marii. Produs pentru prima oara in 1988, trece printr-un poces de macerare de 3 saptamani pe bostina, maturare 12 luni in “barriques” si 18 luni in butoaie mari de stejar. Cei mai buni ani au un potential de invechire de 40-50 de ani.
“With fruit from Serralunga d’Alba, the 2011 Langhe Sperss is a wine of profound beauty. This is a velvety and caressing expression with dark fruit layers followed by kirsch, cassis, leather, balsam herb and white truffle. The Gaja family decided to move their bottling date forward in order to preserve the integrity and freshness of fruit in this warm vintage. This move has helped to avoid overripe sensations. In fact, Langhe Sperss seems fresh and tonic. This bodes exceptionally well for its aging potential.” The Wine AdvocateÂ
“Love the aromas of plums, flowers and dried mushrooms here. Wet soil and lavender too. Full body, firm tannins and a long, delicious finish. The combination of delicious fruit and velvety-textured tannins gives this wine form and structure.” James Suckling
