Description
What kind of wine it is
Langhe Sito Moresco is an enveloping still red wine from the Langhe, capable of blending local character with an international profile. This elegant blend harmonises Nebbiolo, Barbera and Merlot, revealing an intense ruby red colour in the glass. The bouquet expresses deep notes of wild berries, Parma violet, medicinal herbs and dark spices. On the palate, it is structured and smooth, supported by well-integrated tannins that accompany a long finish with clear balsamic hints.
Where it comes from
The wine is born in the heart of Piedmont, in the renowned Barbaresco area, a benchmark for Italian wine excellence. The signature is that of Gaja, a prestigious family-run estate that has been enhancing its vineyards with utmost rigour for generations. Thanks to careful management, the grapes express the richness of the region at its best. These characteristics give the wine an exceptional ageing potential, allowing it to evolve elegantly over the years.
How it is produced
Production follows a meticulous vinification process, aimed at preserving the integrity of the aromatic profile and original freshness. After fermentation, the wine rests for at least twelve months in stainless steel tanks, an essential choice to maintain the purity of the fruit. Subsequently, the wine undergoes further bottle ageing for several months. This maturation harmonises its structure, making it the ideal companion for game dishes or refined selections of mature cheeses.
History and Curiosities
The Sito Moresco 2023 embodies the prestige of the Gaja winery, a historic family business founded in Barbaresco in 1859. The oenological expertise of Guido Rivella enhances the 92 hectares of estate located within the Langhe DOC denomination, skilfully orchestrating Barbera, Merlot and Nebbiolo in an exceptional blend. The production process involves at least 12 months of ageing in steel, followed by further maturation in the bottle. The result is a still red wine of extraordinary longevity, capable of evolving elegantly over time for up to fifteen years.
