Description
The Barbaresco Gaia Principe di Prinsi was born on the hills of Neive, in the Langhe. The farm has now existed for 3 generations, since the 1940s, when Ottavio Lequio began producing wine. The company mainly grows Nebbiolo grapes in vineyards located in the Barbaresco crus Gaia Principe, Gallina, Fausoni and Basarin.
The Nebbiolo grapes are destemmed and pressed, to then be vinified with maceration in thermo-controlled steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation takes place in wood. The wine ages 30 months in French oak barrels.
Ruby red in color with garnet reflections, it expresses a bouquet of berries on the nose with notes of cinnamon, vanilla and pepper. The sip is structured, with soft and elegant tannins.
Ideal in combination with roasts, braised meats and mature cheeses.
