Comprising 35% Nebbiolo, 35% Merlot & 30% Barbera. Fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks and oak casks.
Intense and bright ruby colour. Violet, mulberry and fresh spices aromas on the nose. Crunchy red fruity aromas of red plum and red cherry along with fresh savoury aromas, lead to a long-lasting finish with a hint of minerality. The wine has a super charming and juicy body, characterized by harmony and freshness, with ripe and well-integrated tannins. Drink 2022-2040+Sito Moresco is named for the family who farmed this 25-acre estate in Barbaresco before its purchase by the Gaja family, a nod to the people and traditions that preceded it. It means literally the Moresco site, after the family name of Giovannini Moresco. GAJA created this cuvee of Nebbiolo, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon to deliver greater approachability in its youth. In this balanced blend, the powerful tannic structure of the Nebbiolo is balanced by the supple roundness of the Merlot and the elegance of the Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, this wine is made from vineyards located in the villages of Barbaresco and Treiso (both lying in the Barbaresco appellation), with additional fruit from Serralunga d'Alba (in the Barolo appellation). Pheasants are featured on Sito Moresco's label to commemorate the beautiful birds that inhabit the forests adjacent to GAJA's vineyards.
