Founded in 1859 by Giovanni Gaja , the homonymous winery is probably the symbol of the Langhe, with all its history and the legacy it hands over to posterity. Led with passion, strength and tenacity by Angelo Gaja together with his children, Gaia, Rossana and Giovanni, it is one of the most important companies for the production of Barbaresco.
Deep garnet red color, intense and consistent in the glass. Wild black cherry, plums, blackberries and ripe currants: the nose opens on clear fruity notes, and then also perceives floral nuances of violet, as well as clear tertiary references of vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon, pepper and licorice. Balsamic nuances and officinal herbs complete the olfactory picture. The tannins on the palate are sculpted with chisel, the sip is warm and soft, with excellent persistence.
It goes very well with red meat. Try it with the tagliata with balsamic vinegar.
Impenetrable ruby red color. The nose is played on floral notes and red fruit jam. Gradually it expands its bouquet with hints of black pepper, vanilla, tobacco and dark chocolate. A full-bodied, robust, dense and powerful wine. Endless. Alcoholic content: 14% vol.

Every year the "Nero" of the Conti Zecca winery reaches the "finals" in the judgments of the most renowned wine guides, obtaining scores that, if they do not exceed 90 cents, are punctually very close. This year too is no exception. It is a wine that follows a long aging: it ages 18 months in French wooden barriques, one year in large oak barrels and six months in bottle.
We have abolished substances such as Albumin (from eggs) and Casein (from milk) which are commonly used for wine clarification processes.
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC organic produced entirely with grapes from the Montepulciano vine, 75 cl bottle
The grapes have a strong anthocyanin charge, good acidity and a good sugar content. The vine has this name because the Tuscan wool merchants recognized a resemblance to their grapes and thought it was a mutation of Sangiovese.
The Sagrantino vine, cultivated for centuries exclusively in Montefalco, seems to have been brought there from Asia Minor by the followers of S. Francesco.
