2021 Gaja "Sito Moresco" Langhe Rosso

Gaja "Sito Moresco" Langhe Rosso is a refined and versatile red blend from the prestigious Gaja estate in Piedmont, Italy. Combining the elegance of Nebbiolo with the richness of Barbera and the structure of international varieties like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine offers a modern and approachable expression of the Langhe terroir. "Sito Moresco" is named after a vineyard site ("sito") owned by the Moresco family, emphasizing Gaja’s commitment to both tradition and innovation. On the nose, "Sito Moresco" reveals enticing aromas of red cherries, blackberries, and plums, layered with hints of violet, tobacco, and a touch of spice. The palate is medium-bodied and silky, with smooth tannins and balanced acidity that bring out flavors of dark fruit, licorice, and subtle earthy undertones. A gentle oak influence adds depth and a hint of vanilla, leading to a long, polished finish.
