Description
Monica Larner: Gaia Gaja tells me 2014 was one of the best vintages
ever in Barbaresco, if not the best for her vineyards. She cites
the prolonged growing season that continued at a slow rate during
the cooler summer months only to speed up thanks to a heat spell at
the very end, right before harvest. Nebbiolo loves slow maturity
and a prolonged growth cycle: The 2014 vintage did indeed get off
to an exceptionally slow start. The 2014 Barbaresco is not austere
or astringent. Instead, it offers plump ripeness with rich fruit
flavors backed by spice, licorice and tobacco. The wine offers good
structure from the point of view of its tannins, yet there is no
harshness or bitterness whatsoever.
