Tonight's wine I have opened is the 2016 Gaja Sito Moresco Langhe. This is a blend of 35% Nebbiolo, 25% Barbera, 25% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.

On the nose there is cherry, strawberry, plum, licorice, spices, light herbaceous notes, leather, violet and minerals.

On the palate is cherry, strawberry, plum, red currant, cedar, spice, minerals, a bit of salinity and earthy notes.

This wine is medium bodied that has a freshness to the smooth mouthfeel, medium + acidity and medium to medium + fine round tannins which moves into a long red fruit earthy finish. Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there this weekend. Please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

A blend of 35% Nebbiolo, 25% Barbera, 25% Merlot &15% Cab Sauv, Ruby with aromas of fresh red berry fruits, floral and earthy notes. On the palate cherry and strawberry flavors, slight citrus tang, well balanced with vivid acidity and fine soft tannins. Long finish ending with smoky minerality. Nice now but will age well. Tasting Sample!

I don’t quite understand the need to blend international varietals with Nebbiolo but lonely nonetheless.

Really good now and with loads of ageing potential, Smokey, herby, but with good acidic structure and soft tannins already

A favourite crowd pleaser. Has a lot going on, punches well above it’s price.
