This single-vineyard Barbaresco comes from his 3.5 hectares on the cru of Secondine. It is the commune of Barbaresco below the zone of Rabaja Basa and Paje and is where Gaja’s San Lorenzo is located. It is 230 meters above sea level with a southern exposure.
Color: Deep ruby red with a hint of garnet in the reflections.
Bouquet: Bright bouquet full of cherries, raspberries, licorice and floral notes.
Taste: Elegant and refined with delicate, soft tannins. It is fresh, velvety and extremely well balanced.
Excellent with game, red meats, truffle dishes and aged cheeses.
"The 2019 Barbaresco Secondine is one of the most refined wines I have tasted here. Silky and aromatic, yet also quite deep, the 2019 has much to recommend it. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, blood orange, mint and cinnamon lend notable aromatic presence to this firm, classically built Barbaresco. There's plenty of tannin and structure, but also an element of pure seduction I am especially drawn to in this vintage."

"Notes of blood orange, dried strawberries, tea leaves and lavender. Some dry earth, too. Firm and steady with tension and focus. Medium to full body. Tannins are compact and lightly chewy. Velvety finsh. Drink after 2025."
