Sperss is Gaja’s iconic Barolo from the Marenca–Rivette cru in Serralunga d’Alba, its name meaning “nostalgia” in the local dialect and reflecting the family’s return to Barolo. Made primarily from old-vine Nebbiolo on compact clay-limestone marl, it is a deeply structured, intensely mineral Barolo noted for dark cherry and plum fruit, rose, licorice, truffle and tar, with powerful tannins and exceptional capacity for long aging.
