This wine made history when it became one of the earliest single-vineyard bottlings of Nebbiolo in Piedmont with the 1967 vintage. Sourced from the Gaja winery's top growing site San Lorenzo located just south of the village of Barbaresco in the famed cru Secondine the wine is made with 95% Nebbilo grapes and 5% Barbera. This practice hails back to the earliest era of Barbaresco when the lighter-bodied Barbera was traditionally blended into the tannic Nebbiolo to temper its power and structure. Almost always the most powerful and austere of Gaja's five single-vineyard wines requiring a longer time to fully develop. A very focused concentrated wine with a long lingering finish and refined tannins it has excellent aging potential.
