Gaja Barolo Sperss 2018 is a majestic single-vineyard Nebbiolo from Serralunga d'Alba, exuding elegance through its entrancing aromas of lavender, black cherry, rose petals, and spice. Universally acclaimed, it garnered 97 points from both Vinous and Wine Advocate for its powerfully structured yet harmonious expression and its exceptional aromatic depth. With fine, chalky tannins and mineral-infused red fruit layers, the wine maintains incredible poise and bottle age potential. Critics note its graceful complexity—with floral and licorice nuances—makes it both approachable now and promising in the cellar through 2040. A rare powerhouse, Sperss commands respect for its combination of finesse, energy, and timeless Barolo DNA.
