特色

義大利Gaja酒廠由Giovanni Gaja先生創立於1859年,自創立至今已承傳到第四代,由Giovanni Gaja的曾孫Angelo Gaja先生經營管理,而Gaja家族也持續為了釀造出高品質的葡萄酒而努力。 

Angelo Gaja從1960年代開始把自家的葡萄園大幅度減產以提高品質;1970年代開始將他的酒儲存於小型橡木桶中陳年;他從法國直接採購橡木,然後在Barbaresco陳放成熟,再由當地桶匠製成符合他需求的酒桶;他也是Piedmont最早引進溫控的不銹鋼槽發酵設備的先鋒;他率先在Piedmont種植法國的著名葡萄品種;此外他還堅持進行兩個星期的乳酸發酵。這些做法在Piedmont都是創舉。Barolo和Barbaresco的革新風潮的盛行主要是在1980年代開始的,也就是說Angelo Gaja的做法領先了當地的同業大約20年,可說是義大利葡萄酒業先驅的傳奇人物。

Wine Spectator雜誌曾評論說他"no producer anywhere in the last 50 years has made such an impact on the international wine scene"。如今他的葡萄酒是全義大利售價最昂貴的,市場上的售價已經可以匹敵波爾多五大酒莊的產品;如果單以產品售價來論,Gaja的產品已經是義大利葡萄酒界的天王!2011年10月份 Wine Spectator雜誌再度以他為封面人物做了專題報導,這種尊崇的地位絕對是世界級的水準。

Gaja家就位在Barbaresco,擁有Barbaresco產區裡14個區塊的葡萄園,除了出品三款單一葡萄園酒款之外,也將各個區塊的葡萄混合釀製一款Barbaresco紅酒,這是Gaja家族百年來的招牌產品。

The 2016 Barbaresco Costa Russi is a very botanical wine in terms of its aromas, with lovely perfumes of rose, elderflower, sambuco and anise seed, along with a touch of glycerine. It then follows up with some sweetness that feels very embracing in this wine. This is the more ephemeral, delicate and floral member of the extended Barbaresco family from Gaja, with a crunchy tannic bite, but nothing too severe. There is a really good vitality and energy to this very expressive wine. Costa Russi remains the smallest of Gaja's single-vineyard wines, and Gaia Gaja warns that there will be considerably less of it starting with the 2017 vintage. Production for this wine had always varied greatly to begin with, due in part to the fragile nature of the 80-year-old vines, but about half of those were removed and replanted. It will be a while before the new vines are old enough to go online. So, with some 10,000 bottles made in 2016 and 6,000 bottles in 2015, we can count on those numbers to be split by half over the next three to four years, for sure.
