This is a beautifully harmonious wine which combines concentration with finesse, and the elegance of the 2014 vintage with the intensity characteristic of the Serralunga vineyard. An expansive bouquet of bright red cherries mingles with savoury spices and sweet herbs which leads to a succulent palate of red currants, wild strawberries and dark plums while a refined mineral structure provides great definition and length. This impressive wine unfurls in the glass - it has the complexity and depth for extensive ageing. Drink from 2022-2040.

Reviews & Scores

The 2014 Barolo Sperss is an attractive wine from Gaja's vineyards in Serralunga. There is good depth to the succulent black cherry, plum, smoke and licorice flavors, although it doesn't quite have the explosiveness or power of the very best years. Because of the wine's slender personality, the oak is a bit more evident than is typically the case. The Sperss also feels a bit forced in terms of extraction and oak, especially next to the Conteisa, where the choices have turned out to be more successful in bringing out the best the vintage has to offer.
