Parker über Sperss Barolo Magnum 2014
This is a slightly more subdued vintage of this legendary wine, albeit just as sophisticated as past editions. The 2014 Barolo Sperss opens to gorgeous aromas of dark fruit, wet earth and white truffle. The vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba produced much less fruit than average and suffered from bouts of downy mildew during the rainy seasons. But Serralunga d'Alba fruit is also harvested late, and that extra time was important for achieving grape ripeness targets. The wine presents depth and complexity within the context of a thinner vintage. Having said that, the bouquet is spectacular.

Sperss Barolo Magnum 2014
Giovanni Gaja, Angelo Gaja's father, dreamed of producing a top Barolo alongside Barbaresco. In 1988 Angelo Gaja fulfilled the family dream and bought a vineyard in the Marenca-Rivette area in Serralunga d'Alba. Today's legendary Barolo Sperss was born.
With its masculine and powerful structure, the Sperss is an archetype of a mighty, long-lived Barolo that has reached monumental size after a long period in the cellar.

Informationen zum Winzer:
The family winery is now one of the best known in Italy and can look back on a centuries-old history. The success story of owner Angelo Gaja began in the 17th century when the family emigrated from Spain to Italy. In 1859, a member of the family, a grape producer in Barbaresco, laid the foundation for the current company by opening a tavern, which also served their own wines. The wines were already so popular at the end of the 19th century that they were supplied to the Italian army, among others. Already in the second generation of the family, an unusually high value was placed on quality, with the aim of retaining a predominantly upscale clientele.
