Sita Moresco is the wine we recommend as the perfect introduction to the wonderful world of Gaja. However yields were low in 2017 so it’s a little harder to come by than normal. This unique blend of 50% Nebbiolo 40% Barbera and 10% Merlot is named after the Moresco family who Gaja bought the vineyards in Pajorè (Treiso) and Serralunga from. It feels like Barbaresco have taken in a more approachable and modern direction. But the reason we love it so much is because it’s so darn food friendly. Open this handy half bottle with warming comfort food and ease into its flavours of cherry plum wild strawberry mixed dried herbs blood orange peppery spice and smoked sea salt. Rich concentration is held in check by bright acidity and that silky finish is simply to die for.
Although this family estate was established in the 1850s it wasn’t until Angelo Gaja took over in 1970 that Gaja was pushed through into the vanguard of Italian wine. Although the Super Tuscans hog much of spotlight this man is often described as having single-handedly dragged Italian wine into the modern age. Not content with introducing revolutionary modern techniques and non-indigenous grape varieties to his Piedmont vineyards propelling them into the position of benchmark for the region he has also branched out to Tuscany with dramatic effect. A rebel a perfectionist and an incredible winemaker when it comes to the great man we think Robert Parker puts it best: “A genius for sure Angelo Gaja cannot be faulted for what he puts in the bottle.”
