Red
Gaia Principe
By Cascina Rabaglio, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
Single-vineyard Barbaresco from Neive, 100% Nebbiolo, aged in French and Slavonian oak.
Tasting notes
Bright ruby red that softens with age. Delicate fruit of raspberry and violet that turns ethereal with time, with spicy notes of vanilla and toasted hazelnut. Dry, harmonious, good body that becomes soft, velvety and persistent with ageing.
