I tasted a wide range of wines during my last visit to Gaja, including a number of wines just prior to bottling. The 2017 Barbarescos are shaping up nicely. Yields are down around 30% because of dehydration and thick skins, typical of the year. I don't see quite the pedigree of 2016, but that is the beauty of vintages. In 2016, Gaja will only bottle one Barolo, Sperss, as Conteisa was affected by hail. The move toward a more refined approach continues to be evident as the younger generation increasingly takes the helm. I have to say, the direction at Gaja of late has been really impressive.
