Labeled as “Superiore” due to the ageing period in small wooden barrels, it is a deep red wine with intense garnet reflections. The bouquet is rich and refined with clear hints of red berries and vanilla while it is velvety and persistent in the mouth.

Cascina Bricco Carmagnola

The hills of the Barbaresco run north of Alba along the Tanaro Valley in the direction of Asti. Although the Barbaresco is also made from 100% Nebbiolo, it is lighter, less tannic and more velvety due to the different soil conditions and the lower elevation of the hills. Even the color of Barbaresco is less intense and more orange. The resulting small inferiority to the “big brother” Barolo has been completely revised with the quality offensive by Angelo Gaja since the 1980s. With the decree of 1966, the Barbaresco was classified as DOC and then in 1980 as DOCG wine. Get to know the Gaja Winery just 1 hour drive from Olmo Gentile away.
