Gaja - Grappa "Sperss" (375ml)
Gaja Description
Located in Piedmont in northwestern Italy, the GAJA winery is widely considered to be one of the greatest estates in the world, producing coveted and collectible labels. GAJA is a pioneer and guardian of tradition, a legacy that continues to reshape the standard for excellence in the world of winemaking today. Angelo Gaja was the first to produce single vineyard wines in Piedmont and revolutionized wine making practices in the region, introducing Bordeaux varietals and the use of barriques. GAJA has led Barbaresco to international acclaim and brought about a resurgence of Italian wines more broadly. Today, the GAJA Winery owns 240 acres of vineyards in the Barbaresco DOCG (Barbaresco and Treiso) and the Barolo DOCG (Serralunga d’Alba and La Morra).
Grappa Sperss is produced from the pomace, the leftover skin of the Nebbiolo grapes after the winemaking process. The Nebbiolo grape, a variety native to the Piedmont region of Italy, is renowned for its quality and is primarily used in the production of high-quality red wines.
Tasting Note: Grappa Sperss presents a soft, inviting gold color. On the nose, it unveils a delightful bouquet of aromas, primarily dominated by ripe fruits such as apples, pears, and peaches. Subtle undertones of hazelnuts bring an earthy, rich edge to the profile, while hints of sweet raisins add a layer of complexity. In terms of body, it is well-structured and satisfyingly robust. The finish is round and full, leaving a lasting impression that is both gratifying and memorable.
